FYI: GCC 3.0 is due to June, 15th. This will break BC anyway together
with Qt 3.0. Result: KDE 2.2 is likely to be the last release as the
distributors are likely to switch to gcc 3.0 for versions of their
distro coming out in fall. We're probably forced to go with KDE 3.0 for
September/December, as much as we like to have a meeting before. I think
this needs to be discussed really soon to make a schedule and decide
which way to go. The name KDE 3.0 because of BC is correct though, just
the timeframe needs to be shorter now that these issues come up.

Concerning kdedb, I'd go with Pradu to remove it. If it's really *only*
the io-slave that isn't used now anyway (and which can be ported to the
qdb thing I assume) I would vote for removing it, especially as even the
KDE 2.0 libs were meant to be *less* overhead than the 1.x libs, but
these are becoming bigger and bigger. The unsure maintenance is another
reason to drop it IMHO.
