that was also not my intention. Still we need to rethink how to handle the addons. We accepted that the addons became a dumping ground for 3rd party plasmoids which then went into unmaintained state. That is something we need to address. E.g. by only porting things which have a maintainer. And I think we need to first solve those structural problems before starting to port the addons.
