I would suggest to take out everything that isn't really used/usable for KDE4. 
I haven't heared a huge outcry about how broken this stuff is (apart from the 
occasional bugreport) so I guess we have been able to do without just fine so 
far. Image applications can use dedicated image effect libraries, I don't 
think such functionality needs to be in kdelibs.
