to me this highlights things we need to work on within the Qt ecosystem: * KDE represents a "somebody"; or put another way -> "Qt developers: stop treating one of your largest downstreams as a nobody." to claim nobody is asking for it when we have implemented it and hundreds of applications use it is a bit ... odd :) * if it is too much effort for the core Qt team given their resources, then perhaps we need to find ways to re-purpose some of our efforts in kdelibs (something others have said long before this email, of course :). that requires, however, a working relationship in which all parties feel confident that efforts will not be going to waste, which is a role for open governance to fill * clearer externally visible roadmaps for Qt so we can coordinate and avoid the left hand / right hand thing you observed. another role for open governance. -- Aaron J.
