Also, please note that restarting the system dbus-daemon is not a
supported action (#805449). Restarting it, other than by rebooting,
breaks system services' assumptions.

The only supported way to restart the system dbus-daemon for a physical
machine or VM is to reboot; the only supported way to restart the system
dbus-daemon for a container is to restart the container.

(If a system has been updated to resolve security vulnerabilities,
rebooting is probably a good idea anyway - that guarantees that nothing
still has the old versions of services or libraries mapped into memory.)
