As I keep telling you, KDE developers are upstream. We're Debian. We
decide what goes where when you type "apt-get install kde". Without
condescention, they pump out a desktop environment, we package it. The
two generally don't overlap and shouldn't. Leave the distributing to the
distributors.
The two arguments I've heard from you so far can be boiled down to:
* Solaris, SuSE, <insert commercial UNIX here> does it, so it must be
good!
* KDE hackers think it's k00l!
