What Scott point is, is that no matter when the implementor(you) got the idea 
of doing the change it breaks consistency for the user. So it's irrelevant 
when you got the idea - what matters is that the change got committed. If I 
got everything right. Not expressing any opinion here, only interpreting..

But I'm quite puzzled myself.. Some time ago I proposed KControl changes, 
among others the one you just did, and I got systematically beaten to the 
ground because NOT ONE MORE KCONTROL ORGANIZATION IN KDE3.X was of any 
interest.
Among those objecting people was George. He got CC'd in this commit and I have 
yet not read any objections to this commit. I need some help here - what's 
the magic trick to getting one's KControl changes approved? Was I just stupid 
who asked on the lists first?

I'm not saying Nadeem's commit should be reverted - I'm not saying anything in 
this matter since my opinion diverges from the common.

But could someone please tell where the line is drawn for "Organization"?
