<p>One of the primary goals of KF5 is to be useable by other applications not written by the KDE community (I actually know quite a few).<br />
As such, it's not hard to imagine a cmake-based application that uses Qt and GNUInstallDirs [with qmake going away this will happen more and more], and one day it wants to use one of the frameworks. At that point, it shouldn't be forced to switch to ECMInstallDirs. Therefore I definitely see value in keeping the two things separate, as long as we keep making things easy for what is the most common case for us: using both.</p></div>

<p>Sigh. I know this, I never, ever, ever, and let me say it again, <strong>never</strong>, forgot about this.</p></div>

<p>OK sorry for stating the obvious then.<br />
When you wrote "ki18n_install() is basically used by KF sources that use ECM already" it seemed to me that this was looking at KDE community code only; it's hard to make such a broad statement if including also external code. If you agree that being able to use ki18n without ECM is better, then indeed we all agree.</p>

<p>I have to apologize again, then, because I don't understand what is the "broken code" we're talking about then.</p>
<blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid #a7b5bf; color: #464c5c; font-style: italic; margin: 4px 0 12px 0; padding: 4px 12px; background-color: #f8f9fc;"><p>Yes, sorry, you are not Friedrich. OTOH, it would be nice to not be painted as "the one that wants to break things without second thoughts". Can we please agree on this?</p></blockquote>
<p>We do agree on this. I don't think I was painting you that way at all. I'm merely trying to understand both sides of the argument and find a solution that works for everyone.</p>

font-weight: bold;
color: black;text-decoration: none;">D29136</a> to do the fallback using the same logic introduced here: this way marble is already fixed with no other changes, and ki18n_install will work also with KDE_INSTALL_DIRS_NO_DEPRECATED (e.g. for release-service packages)</li>

<p>Would this be what is done in <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D29303" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;
