You forget (IMHO) about the most important areas -- the users. Do you 
really think it's going to benefit them? I'm not a developer due to a 
lack of time learning Qt/C++, although I do help with bits like 
koffice.org, so I would certainly class my self as a user.

Even if Pixie is available elsewhere from KDE (like and independent 
CVS), I'm probably wouldn't bother using it. I'm also wouldn't bother 
testing it to report bugs, etc.

Same goes for the styles -- what about those running kdelibs CVS who 
updated and discovered the styles weren't available, and they would need 
to be obtained elsewhere?

I have no intention of getting involved in any flame war, and I hope I 
have not caused any offence, but that's just my £0.02.
