No policy objections here on the core app, but as for which plugins are 
included in kdenetwork, which go to kdeaddons, and which don't go in the 
release at all, I'd say two policy questions have to be answered:

Should KDE include anything that is tied to a proprietary protocol?  If 
not, Kopete plugins like OSCAR should remain in kdenonbeta.

Should KDE include anything is tied to a proprietary service (open protocol 
or not)?  If not, Kit should be moved out, and several Kopete plugins 
should remain in kdenonbeta.

libpsi is nowhere near ready for a KDE release yet, therefore the jabber 
plugin should stay in kdenonbeta or thereabouts.  It uses nothing in 
kdelibs, and even has its own SSL implementation.  Justin Karneges, Till 
Gerken, and I have been looking at ways to make it useful for KDE apps 
witout forking, but nothing has been produced yet.

Eventually some of us want to see the to-be-renamed jabber library in 
kdelibs, but that's another matter.
