Breath in, wait, breath out.

OK, we are talking in the abstract. As far as I can see, no-one has a 
conceptual objection to having support for any particular platform (be it 
Windows, MacOS, Linux, *BSD, Solaris, HP-UX, whatever).

Stefan: I think you have agreement to, and general support for, any changes 
that make KDE more portable, subject to meeting normal standards for code 
quality, and not introducing breakage. Coolo's wording might have failed the 
language barrier test - I read it as "hey, we already do that", rather than a 
criticism. Also, if they gave me a CVS account, I'm sure they'll give you 
one :-)

Is there something in particular that needs to be done to the development 
process for KDE4? If so, please describe the issue and proposed solution, 
since I think you have an attentive audience. If not, Waldo's suggestion 
(roughly "if it isn't obvious what to do, turn up to kde-core-devel and 
discuss it") sounds like the best way forward.
