I wasn't really planning on merging *now*, I wanted to get the ball rolling on proposing it for merging and find out if there's anything big and important that needs to happen before a merge proposal can start. (such as write end user documentation). The topic of display managers came up a year ago (I can't find the thread now) on the plasma ML, and when someone mentioned my project it was met with a very negative response, mostly people claiming that KDM would be fixed and my project would burn out. I was expecting more of the same, however this time after an extra year of maturity the response there has been particularly positive, so things went better and moved quicker than I expected. Before I do the actual merge I'll go through a normal review procedure, and that refactor branch will be merged before then. Dave > Andras >
