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

</div>I totally agree there.<br>
