we don't need to do everything from the QML runtime. this is a fatal fl=
aw=20
virtually every other widget system has previously run into, and they e=
nd up=20
with a (stupidly) huge API set that is baked into the bottom layers of =
the=20
system and has all kinds of system-specific=20
dependencies/requirements/assumptions as a result.

so .. what we tend to do is have the runtime be just, and only, that: a=
=20
runtime that gets the component up and running and binds in the essenti=
al,=20
generic API.

that includes things like DataEngines and Services ... which allow us t=
o=20
extend the available API dynamically without dependencies carried by th=
e=20
runtime itself.

correct; and there should be no such code in kde-runtime anyways. this =
should=20
be a Plasma::Service plugin which can be accessed from QML to trigger t=
he=20
right behaviour. that Service can then be platform specific if needed, =
shipped=20
in kde-workspace or even not be on a system at all.
