As you're quoting my email - where are you reading this?
That's not what I wrote at. all. I merely stated that we should
cater to younger engineers. Not once I suggested and will not
suggest to disregard the old timers. That was twisted in replies
following my email.

But KDE is not a tech startup. As people correctly wrote, KDE has a very<br> &gt; \
&gt; long<br> &gt; &gt; history and contributors of all age. I&#39;d rather be that \
than one of the<br> &gt; &gt; many<br>

chat<br> &gt; &gt; systems, to be honest.   Do we really want and need to cater these \

&gt;<br>
&gt; Yes. Old contributors will slowly fade away for various<br>
&gt; reasons, be it life, be it lack of energy, be it other commitments.<br>
&gt; Who&#39;s going to pick all those projects up after them? I&#39;d like<br>
&gt; to think that young enthusiasts with lots of energy and potential,<br>
&gt; exactly what those heroes starting the original KDE were.<br>
&gt; And I think we should strive to attract younger talent that can<br>
&gt; be in it for the long run.<br>
<br>
Well, I wonder since reading several posts here about one thing:<br>
<br>
To from reading this post and other posts I got the impression that is<br>
absolutely needs to be black or white:<br>
<br>
*Either* IRC and nothing else *or* something new and nothing else.<br>
<br>
Seriously?<br>
<br>
I mean: Seriously?<br>
<br>
<br>
There has been almost completely unnoticed posts mentioning bridges. Is none<br>
of this bridges capable to work well enough for KDE community use cases?<br>
<br>
Why do you see the need to exclude either one of the \
