Slightly off-topic indeed :)

Reasons are:
- kwin is not yet ready to support fully transparent windows (and notably its 
blur pluggin),

- oxygen-transparent breaks many apps (notably most video players), and 
therefore needs a blacklist, which is not up to the standards of official KDE

- design wise, oxygen's designers (well Nuno, to name people), don't believe 
that transparency should be part of the official oxygen, branding-wise.

Since the dev (me) does (mostly) agree with all three items above, the matter 
is settled :)
