Nicely said.

As I missed much of this discussion (mailserver prob I guess), plus I would
appriciate a solution to be made I want to hear from some core people (Waldo 
made the first import while there was some opposition, and Dirk might want
to say something as he is the Release manager and this certainly makes 3.1
harder to release, maybe others).

Please tell the world how the undisputably-present problems the above described 
change in policy triggered will be solved.

If nobody feels they should take action, I would like to ask you (the core-people)
to revert the import of all of these cd-writer applications since I think we 
should all just go back to hacking; that is the thing we should like more :)

In short; I think a mistake has been made, a desicion too many KDE developers 
(including i18n people) feel unhappy about.  I think the person(s) who made 
the desicion should step forward and appologise.

Please don't let personal feeling get in the way of the wonderful KDE feeling.
