Hi, 

I have some concerns about this:

- this looks like a new subsystem - the deadline for that has passed months back for \
that

- we are in beta right now - adding large pieces of new code - untested with real \
apps - in kdelibs should be avoided imho.

- replacing something with something else and replacing that again for 4.1 is not \
optimal - do we want to go on that road ?

My conclusion would be that it is too late in the release process to do it now. I \
would suggest to move it to a separate location. kdesupport has been mentioned. 

I'm not the one to decide this, just venting my opinion here. If core developers say \
it is ok, I'm absolutely fine with it. Just wanted to raise it here.

Toma
