But if I could play devil's advocate for a minute, I'd like to point out that removing the library right now could be problematic. Some fixes, e.g. for Nokia, need to be done in KDChart itself, the current way (just having it embedded in KOffice) allows us to do so very rapidly without having to wait for a release in KDChart part. If we remove KDChart from the KOffice tree we would need to: 1)Wait for KDChart releases to fix bugs, which can slow down things. Or, 2)Depend on KDChart's trunk, which will likely have problems with distributions. I would vote for keeping the copy in KOffice for the time being. Otherwise we could jeopardize responsiveness in bug fixing.
