I completely agree with you. kpovmodeler is a great application, but it should 
remain a 3rd party application. KDE should only include applications which 
most KDE people would you. Else, KDE is bound to be bloated (as in size).

I have the same opinion for quanta. They should be both packaged seperately, 
not part of one of the KDE modules.

On the other hand, I am all for releasing kpovmodeler, quanta etc. along with 
KDE. But they should have their own packages.

Regards,
Sarang
