First; in KDE we don't vote.  Unmanagable.
Second; since a long time ago we did actual research into this topic; and had
a lot of core developers agree upon the fact that 1 annoyence (the dialog) is
enough.  I would like to see new evidence (usertest i.e.) that this is
usefull.  All my data tells me otherwise.

And in contrast to popular believe we don't re-decide each issue everytime a
new person has an opinion  (please dont take that personally :)
