i agree with what you're saying Jaison; and i think that these posts to=20
kde-core-devel (which should be CC'd to the authors if they aren't on the=20
list) is exactly such a call for maintainer input as well as input from the=
=20
rest of the project so that we get a full perspective. no one is trying to=
=20
shut out the maintainers; asking openly is looking for just that sort of=20
input.

removing things is always difficult and will always piss of someone[1], so=

talking about removing things always feels very dangerous. and talking abou=

these "feels dangerous" topics so openly is largely a new thing for kde. ne=

things are even more unsettling. so i assume that's where a lot of the push=

back on these things is coming from. but we'll find our ways together.

in this thread i actually don't really see any dissent, just lots of violen=

agreement on a topic that's being expressed with various levels and kinds o=

assumptions (e.g. that asking on the list equates to asking for author inpu=

in kwrite now.

sorts of numbers it's impossible to please all the people all the time.
