Not for me, it's not.  I have half-a-dozen OI systems running on bare
hardware: no virtualization here.

The rollback is a temporary solution, until this bug is found.

I haven't looked at "--session" output for some time, although I have
looked at "--system" output.  Running a BE where the USB automount
fails, there is virtually no output from "dbus-monitor".
