We had a 100+ messages thread on this back in May, remember?
(http://lists.kde.org/?t=102050810200002&r=1&w=2) If this was not enough to 
explain it to you I won't be able to explain it now. I'd suggest we don't 
start this again.

Anyway, what we basically agreed on back then was to handle the KDE releases 
as "real distributions" and avoid duplicated functionality as much as 
possible. Among other things because we wanted to give translators and 
documenters a real chance to create a fully localized and documented desktop 
environment. This is why kdeextragear was created in the first place.

I remember you did not agree on the CDRWs as "duplicated functionality" but I 
also remember that you were pretty much alone with this view.

OK, maybe we should look for another group to decide on that. ;-)
