I could understand it if you would stand by your "no", but I think it should 
at least be considered that he (Krzysztof) has been working hard on this, 
while assuming it would make it's way into a KDE 3.5.x release... I could see 
how disappointing it would be if that wouldn't be the case. That's a big 
reason why ppl work on free software, right? To get things to the users. 

How bad would it be to make an exception?
