Sure, duplicated styles and themes could go. I never argued that. B3 should 
go, but I didn't write that so don't want to move it without the author's 
consent. I never finished KStep Highcolor, so that could go as well. Pillbox 
always sucked. KDE SGI and QT SGI both emulate SGI. One of the two "System" 
themes can go as well.

We've been over this before and what I don't agree with is that new styles 
should necessarily go into kdeaddons. If it doesn't duplicate another style 
that already exists it should go into the base distribution. Nobody seems to 
mind the shitload of unnecessary features were adding to KDE, but has a 
shitfit when I want to add a new style that's only a couple of K :P  And this 
one should *definitely* go into the base distribution. I'll post some 
screenshots in a sec, but my password to mosfet.org isn't working >:P
