So KDE would* have to be forked to advance?  KDE would* move from a bazaar 
to a tightly-controlled thing?

Scary.

Meanwhile it's already clear that the job of creating the environment has 
been shifted from KDE's releases to the packagers, since the packagers are 
now the ones who wil have to hunt around the now unlimited (thanks to 
extragear) number of cvs modules to find things to include.

Really scary.

Thanks for your mail initiating this thread, Rob.  It's been most 
enlightening.

not stating my view of the present.  I especially suggest that non-native 
speakers of English note the difference between "is" and "would."
