You need to understand understand though that changing patch review systems is not your decision to take (nor mine), we need to have a general agreement/consensus when changing systems as important.
Changing systems is not what I propose, though. What I'm arguing for is empowering the individual projects to be able to choose tools which work well for them. That's very different from saying "whole KDE should just switch to Gerrit", and I'm not proposing that. Some people have made themselves clear that no change is going to happen, and I can live with that.
I do happen to think that yes, switching to Gerrit would in fact indeed be a good move for KDE as a whole, but sharing a view is something else than making people change their systems. If you like RB and you're a project maintainer, sure, by all means do use it for your projects -- I'm not going to force you to switch for the sake of my pleasure or something similar.
I also admit that I would probably feel a little bit sad if Trojita ended up to be the only project which sticked with Gerrit, but if that was the general consensus of the community, who am I to dispute the wishes of poeple doing the actual work?
I'm sorry if the impression which I managed to create by pointing out what I perceive to be strong points of Gerrit and weak points of the alternatives was something different.
