Yes, you need a lot of computing power to be able to port and compile changes 
which affect a number of different modules. If that was made mandatory, I 
also couldn't contemplate doing any BIC/SIC changes in case it broke 
something somewhere outside kdelibs. There has to be some flexibility for 
developers who don't have compile farms.
