Well, if it's to extend the discussion, I'd rather like to extend it to the 
full scope. And we then would have to consider Daniel (Molkentin)'s 
proposition: a fresh start for KDE-4.

While I don't really have a strong opinion on splitting libs into libcore and 
libapps (I'm more tempted to have all libs in a fine grained collection, all 
hosted in a libs module), I definitely believe we should break with the 
current generic modules model.  IMO, apps should be hosted independently 
(each one in its module, with their respective docs, web page and 
internationalization. But I'm far from knowing if this is even feasible.

Anyways, for now I halt here, waiting for eventual other opinions. Maybe 
Daniel jumps in with his proposal too.

(I hope this is on topic... /me rather puzzled with the huge list of rules to 
respect in the project as a whole lately)
