Having some perfectionistic tendencies, i would never include it in a 
koffice-release. ;(

Seriously... all in all karbon needs some polishing of course. There are still 
some basic but non-showstopper frontends/features missing. The provided 
features do work quite fine. We already have at least one user doing almost 
serious work with karbon (hey, Jonathan :) ).

Well, in commercial terms i'd say karbon is currently a 0.5 version. You have 
to decide if it makes sense to include it. Maybe try in 3 weeks yourself, the 
files in karbon/tests reflect the current features quite well.
What i want to avoid are millions of bug reports mentioning problems we are 
obviously aware of already (missing or rough implemneted features because of 
lack of time).

Not necessarily. Being currently stuck with XFree86 3.x myself, i am just not 
able to use fonts, the rest is still usable.
