You can tell when Linux developers care about something.  It shows.
The KDE people want Harmony to progress so as to not be vulnerable to 
a Troll Tech collapse, and to get included in RedHat and SlackWare 
distributions.
The FreeQT foundation solves the first concern.  The second is 
dwindling into insignificance.  After all.  We want to have KDE 
on a Linux CD.  If it's not on a one company's CD then it will be 
on  another.
