(replying as a user) I would say yes. I would like to see plasma using more "native" themes. It feels "not kde-ish" to me.
(replying as a developer) Above all - think about the how hard and buggy this implementation would get. Can you have it stable by KDE 4.4? KDE 4.3 have it as a fall back, for "testing only" with an hidden command-line/environment-variable/configuration-option for testers. Specially if this would (even in theory) make plasma-desktop unstable. Just my 0.2 cents On Tuesday 24 February 2009 21:50:32 Aaron J.
