It bothers me that Corel chose to not coordinate this with KDE.  The names they
suggest are all-in-all pretty good IMHO.  Months ago that list of names could
have been proposed to this list.

Could have been coordination and collaboration rather than controversy and chaos!

Instead they went off and wrote help and all that and announce here after the
"point of no return" for their release.

Regardless of what the license says, this process has helped me formulate more
opinions about Corel.
