Perhaps a different year for me, and you aleady have lots on your list.

Yes- the label is "stable" but every day I receive a message from package 
vulnerabilities about dbus.  It would seem that if it was fixed then that 
would also go back to dbus 1.6 but I am not sure.

One more question, though- if things like D-Bus 1.7 were included in 
something like /usr/pkgsrc/devel, would it or would it not lead to more 
secure versions of cups?

I am certainly willing to return to more primitive methods or printing -
but folks not on this or a similar list will not.
