Not when it comes to correctly linebreaking thai script on webpages. Or 
spellchecking hebrew.

There are no good reasons for making it a knob. Libthai is a singular 
dependency that compiles in under a minute, has no dependencies of its own, 
works on all FreeBSD platforms and versions and builds a binary package less 
than 1 mb in size. It is not worth worrying about.

If you find yourself continually unable to not worry about it, just pretend 
that it had actually been silently imported into the KDE sources like so many 
other support libraries for this and that have been, without you ever 
noticing it being there and thus this discussion never becoming necessary.
