Maybe it's not the best option. compiz uses lots of C code and it may not be
easily integrated with kwin. Making a proper plugin architecture with our own
API may be better integrated with the overall KDE.
Interfacing compiz code with KDE is not exactly a trivial task AFAICS and
would add more trouble than benefits. Some applications can behave erraticly
(see Kopete and adept-notifier as examples), and I'm not sure how thing like
Plasma would work with a lot of tweaking from our side of the fence :).
About code duplication, it's a moot point, cause we don't need to follow the
compiz way just for the sake of it. KDE as a whole brings lots of really good
applications who beat up "rival's". Multiple projects help to improve the
overall desktop ecosystem. :)
