> Not on-topic for this list at all, nor relevant for this thread... That is not true. The large majority of your _userbase_ does not identify themselves with, say, solid, okular, libkipi, phonon, and krosspython. Maybe some technically minded people are huge enthusiasts about plasma. In the end, however, what people are talking about is the entity KDE, and what people appreciate is its entirety as desktop environment. Not a development library framework. "Software Collection" at least had that still half-way in mind. Even plasma will by most people be perceived as "the desktop of KDE". Please don't misunderstand me, of course for software developers the viewpoint is a bit different, but I'm talking about users here. In the end, you will be perceived for what you release - and here we get back to this list. KDE lives from being a consistent whole. Eric Hameleers already made some very valid points there. Breaking KDE up does not help, and the coordinated releases were/are a great thing. -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer dilfri...@gentoo.org http://www.akhuettel.de/
