Hi, It seems there is always seem to be someone within KDE that wants something new and shiny, I name gitlab, Discourse, a new identity system, etc.
On the flip side, there is always someone that does not want to part with the old stuff. Hence there is always more stuff to do, while we must also maintain all the old stuff. Sometime you need a step back to create room to go two forward. We are just asking to think with us if some services are really needed.
