We should not tie ourselves to an inferior solution simply because certain 
people do not want to even have so much as a discussion.

You should not be hide behind this "endless thread" comment simply because 
what you want is currently in Zack's document.

Is it truly the shape of things to come that KDE development decisions are 
made by a chosen inner circle in secret without any discussion in public? I 
do remind you that we are volunteers here and decreeing things like this will 
not make volunteers more willing to contribute.

This sounds something like a thinly veiled Ad Hominem attack.

You're right, KDE has some amazing programmers that are content with making 
decrees rather than getting on with the programming.
