Your work on providing a dcop interface won't be worthless. Our DCOP 
interfaces were always a strong part of KDE technology. But as krita will
be ported to KDE4, it won't be possible to use the old scripts anymore.
Your users will have to do some search and replace (I have no idea yet
about the details, but it should be in the line of 'dcop krita' -> 'dbus 
org.kde.krita') - that's the kind of migration work we expect here from
our users going from KDE3 to KDE4. 

And the main question is not if we should have scripting or no scripting,
but if we can put that work on our users/3rd party app developers or if
we should make sure 'dcop krita' will work in the future.

Greetings, Stephan
