I would leave KEdit/keditcl as is and create a new directory libktextedit that 
implements a edit-widget that dynamically loads the user's preferred 
KTextEditor part (that's basically a single factory method) and a KSimpleEdit 
that implements a KTextEditor part based on QTextEdit (you could start with a 
copy of keditcl for that) 

I guess this factory method is simple enough to be added to libkpart. So 
libktextedit would only contain KSimpleEdit which builds into something like 
libksimpleedit, the default part for this factory method.

(If I recall corrrectly, that's basically what you had in mind in the first 
place, but couldn't do because KEdit had to remain source compatible.)

We can then mark KEdit/keditcl as obsolete and schedule it's removal for KDE 4 
or whenever Qt decides to drop QMultiLineEdit completely.

Cheers,
Waldo
