Do those servers still run if you disable the features in the control panel? I already run MySQL so the only annoyance for me was getting it to use the existing instance rather than spawning a new one. If somebody is willing to join the KDE team to support keeping that option (even as a proxy maintainer) I think the team should work with them. I think that we should generally offer any choice as long as somebody steps up to support it properly (and I do mean properly). While I'm sure the KDE team has their faults they do announce their meetings/etc and I suspect it would be an easy team for an outsider to get involved with as a result. Rich
