I wouldn't use KMail as an example of how avoiding application
duplication is good thing.
There was a time during the Qt/KDE 2 porting when KMail was badly
broken. It was requested by several people that KMail be removed from
cvs. The reasoning behind this request being that several new mail
clients/groupware apps were being written and it wasn't necessary to
have another mail client that duplicated functionality being provided
by other apps.
If the requests to avoid application duplication were granted then
KMail wouldn't be in cvs today.
