But halting development won't *get* you wish of people selflessly joining 
the projects you deem worthy.  People who want to hack on a window manager 
*will* hack on a window manager.  And if they can't hack on the one in 
kdebase, you'll get something like:

1. KWin, KDesktop, Konqueror, and other apps being forked out of cvs, and 
eventually replacing KDE because they bring the features and customization 
people need.

2. New things written from scratch that eventually replace KDE equivalents 
- - really easy to do now that the packagers will be the only reliable 
source for a complete KDE.

3. KDE being replaced by some other desktop that actually improves.

In any case, halting development in cvs just kills the cvs.
