One word ahead: KDE's general development style is to have the trunk \
version compiling/usable/working at all times. Yes: I am aware that there \
are exceptions, but these are always short periods. So this means: If there \
applications that have not yet migrated away from ARTS, keep up ARTS (in \
some way or another). But if ARTS doesn't compile, and no one fixes it: \
Remove ARTS

Good point. And I'd like to add: Fixing it in branch is *much* more \
important than fixing it in trunk (because trunk effectively means KDE4). \
Charles, is there anything you like to add here? For example comments why \
it is easier for you to fix things in trunk than in branch? Abviously you \
would need to checkout branch ARTS, but this can't be your whole concerrn, \
right?

Are you sure: Will any application in trunk compile/work with that version? \
Probably subtle fixes were appiled, so that it compiles with QT4 (source \
code fixes, #include's , #define's, ...).

Fully agree here.
Please see also my next mail (ARTS Migration Plan).
