No.

KDE works very well on some "platforms other than Linux". Something 
you may or may not be aware of.

It means accepting patches for these "platforms other than Linux", and 
when Linux and these other platforms disagree, or are incompatible, 
trying to find, and being open to, an implementation which works on 
either, without the need for additional source code patches.

This would greatly reduce the amount of source code patches necessary 
to build KDE on other platforms. I think you know what platforms i am 
referring to.
