While I am not a fan of the visual components/implementation of plasma, I have 
no doubt that to underlying architecture is quite robust, sound, and 
flexible.  I am sure it will serve KDE well in the years to come.  My biggest 
issue thus far is the bullying.

I am going to look into implementing kde 3 features in playground this 
weekend.  That seems like the right approach.  At least that would give us 
the option of releasing patched code, if needed.
