It allowed to trigger a command execution when specific notifications where
displayed – either in combination with other notification actions or as the
sole action.

To automate system behavior upon the occurrence of events as well as to fix
regressions in KDE SW (see e.g. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481024)

I can read the code and gave the relevant code repositories for reference – the
functionality is gone.

In https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481068#c1 fanzhuyi...@gmail.com
confirmed, that this functionality will be removed in Plasma 6.

This is a severe regression and usability degradation, breaking existing
sophisticated KDE setups of long-time users like me (a quarter of a century).

If people want a crippled desktop, where the user has to serve the computer,
instead of the computer serving the user, there is a large choice.

The unique selling point of KDE, as perceived in my working enviroments, is the
capability of automation – if KDE removes this all over the place, it becomes
dispensible.

To put it simple: you don't win a cross-country race by following the tracks of
others …
Have a look at your user-base developement …
