sorry, but I cannot follow you. What you wrote here is inclusive again. So 
what you want now: focus on a technology or being inclusive to everything?

And here you basically say any development on new technologies should happen 
outside of KDE. Which is pretty excluding and contradicting to what you write 
above.

To me this is really confusing as I don't see how that can aid us in finding a 
direction.

Further clarifications are appreciated. Right now I'm more confused than 
before.
