Hello,

I don't think Jonah's question got an answer. If it did somehow it didn't show 
up in my mail client and my apologies in advance. :-)

In any case I've been wondering exactly the same thing. I'm asking because the 
fate of libraries like QCoro and Croutons would be to end up in KDE Frameworks 
at some point (at least would make sense to me). It'd be odd to have two 
overlapping libraries like this.

Regards.
