That sounds reasonable.

One idea we considered when we discussed this in the Quality Teams Birds of a 
Feather session was to get kdeextragear developers to include it in their 
releases over the next few months so we can refine or dump it before 
unleashing it on a major KDE alpha/beta release. I was thinking of apps like 
Digikam and K3B in particular (Digikam should have a big release coming out 
soon).

Tom
