this affects how soon (and if) i start on a patch for the searchwindow, so i'm 
a minor stakeholder in this little episode; which gives me a small voice in 
things, and here's what i see of the situation at this very moment:

marc, carsten and zack have all voiced their opinion that the kmcommands patch 
could/should stay in as work has been done to make sure it works properly and 
everyone agrees that it is necessary at some point anyways. the seperate 
reader window stuff is most deffinitely a new feature and has issues (e.g. 
icons), and consensus seems to be that it gets reverted for now and worked on 
for 3.2. but the kmcommands stuff seems to have support and people have 
worked on getting it in shape. others, such as waldo, are also in favour of 
that part staying in according to past emails IIRC. and i'll add my tiny 
voice to that as well.

i don't know what the stand of absolutely everyone is at this point (such as 
Michael, though it seems he just wants to work through this the same as 
everyone), but don't you think that it is time for everyone to get back to 
hacking the way KDE people hack? you know, forget about the politics and just 
have fun writing code, while respecting everyone else's place in things ...

there was an unfortunate episode, one that hopefully won't be repeated any 
time soon. let's put that all behind us and start making good decisions based 
on consensus and technical merit as a group again.

michael, don, marc, ingo, karl, carsten, zack, *everyone*: you're top notch 
people creating great stuff. don't let the last few days get in the way of 
you remembering that little fact.

*warm happy vibes for everyone*
