It may be useful, yes. Maybe we could identify a few hardware profiles we'd 
like to support... but the problem with this kind of things is that most of 
the developers do not care, and non-default profile compilations are often 
broken.

I think there is time to do that for KDE4.1, if sufficiently motivated people 
is found.

I'm quite interested in that prototype that circulated during the akademy, and 
while it's quite powerful for things like that, it has its own constraints... 
like the classmate machine.
