and this is precisely why i put them together in another directory: they=20
aren't user apps, they aren't workspace and they aren't dependencies for=20
application software (runtime/)

i'd like to see us keep runtime/ specifically as the set of dependencies th=
at=20
one could expect to see required in a package manager when installing a kde=
=20
application. kreadconfig doesn't strike me as fitting that criterion at all=
=20
since application software doesn't use kreadconfig (they use KConfig)
