It's bikeshedding man, we have to argue.  Or in short a week ago I was unde=
r=20
the impression that no one actually used or wanted to use decimal units.  S=
o I=20
thought everyone pushing to ban the traditional way to use KB/MB were=20
essentially just doing it to be schmucks (since after all, they already had=
=20
KiB/MiB to use).

I've since learned a bit and since about 5-6 days ago or so I've been in=20
support of adding decimal units if users want them.  But then I still had t=
o=20
press the case for users who really would just rather have their standard=20
units back (especially given those units have a standard too!  Who knew? :)=
=20
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JEDEC_memory_standards#JEDEC_Standard_100B=
=2E01=20
for more details).

I've submitted a much revised patch to kde-core-devel that does exactly tha=
t. =20
As far as I'm concerned this thread is done.
