Hm.. Yeah, I think so too. I don't understand how this Christian can see that 
GNOME hostility from the release announcement. At most, you could see it as 
an ignorance towards the GNOME people(but we also need them, despite our 
rendering engine). Anyway, I think it is a good idea leaving this a side..

In either way, we have a real problem here: We don't have any svg files.

Today, it's Wednesday and yet the cvs repository is empty. Martin, perhaps 
wait a day or two, but could you then again contact SuSE and ask for an exact 
time frame?

And if neither that works out, we could send a mail to Everaldo, something 
like the attached perhaps.

Hi Everaldo,

We, the undersigned KDE developers and artists have during a long time been puzzled by the absence of the svg files for the crystalsvg icon theme. Rumors floating around regarding when they will be released, and for what reasons it have not yet happened. It would clear a lot of confusion if you could tell us why the svg's is not released. If there is plans to release them, a time frame would be very practical.
We need the svg's in order to be able to fix usability issues with some of them, as well as being able to export to different resolutions. They are also needed for establishing various technical infrastructure, such as (in some form) from-svg rendering.

And as always - your work is very appreciated!
