Have you taken into account that kde-workspace will be frozen starting in 4.11 
so this is our only chance of removing deprecated/not supported/not working 
well software?

If you have, and you still haven't changed your mind, I will do the following 
if everybody is ok with it:

-Add a README in KRandR folder warning that the software is known to be not 
working well, and that they should use kscreen
-Add a warning in the release notes, somewhere.
-Send an email to kde-packagers
-Anything more?

Cheers and thanks for the feedback !
