Could you guys please stop catching words? Obviously nobody meant any insult by the choice of words[1] bloat or trash towards the software or it's creators or maintainers. Should you wish to discuss the topic then stay on the topic please. It is a whole lot of useless software (in other words also trash, bloat and unwanted software) to just about every user, with but a few tools they may like, except people trying to review KDE as a family of tools. Every regular user will choose their own tools for calendar, email, etc. Simple picture viewer/kpaint etc, should be included because they are essential part of a desktop system, however, calendar, address book, email client, are not. Now that said, it was discussed that the spin is meant to be as a showoff of the KDE family. Is it? Or is it meant for the *actual user* who has preferences. [1] Choice of words - In our very diverse, multinational community, not many people are actually native English speakers. For me, trash is totally acceptable word, and I would have never imagined that someone would make *so much fuss* around it. The US contributors love to say that we non-US people have to be "mindful of other cultures." Here I ask you, to be mindful of my mixed culture, and stop insulting me or treating me like if I did something horrible by something as silly as not the best choice of words. Thank you.
