What we need is less talk and more action. I'm seeing loads of people with 
strong opinions talking endlessly. The problem is that they are trying to 
decide how *other* people should do the work.

I'm feeling that we *had* a consensus about a certain repo layout. People were 
gearing up to do the actual rule writing. I did get the rulesets going on 
gitorious, the conversion tools is there too. Rules were being written, 
commits were being made.
Is anyone still working on rulesets?  I haven't seen a commit for ages to that 
repo, and I fear nobody will want to work on a module while there is a huge 
thread on how it should be done. (would you?)

What we need is someone saying "I'll start".
And follow the good old "he who does the work decides". And ignore the people 
screaming on the sidelines trying to distract us from actually moving forward.

At this point I frankly don't care anymore if KDE splits modules or not. What 
I care about is that this effort is loosing people faster than a sieve loosing 
water. If we ever want to get somewhere the bikeshedding has to stop.
