Yes, some of the splits I see in workspace land leave me wondering what were
the rationale for them. But I can smell problems down the line.
To clarify, I'm not necessarily a huge fan of the one repository per framework
as we did *but* there was a justification for it. We're trying to target an
extra audience which would benefit from it. So that's a necessary evil for KDE
Frameworks if you want. I don't see that for the workspace.

I totally agree there.
Cheers.
