Whiteboard

jdstrand: FYI, QRT shows how to setup the dbus testsuite
jdstrand: "[tyhicks] dbus - update aa-logparser, including test" carried over from https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/security-1304-appisolation-dbus
jdstrand: updates to how querying works will provide further performance gains. This work is more closely tied to extended conditionals which is not part of this work

(?)
