Just curious, what was the motivations behind such a move?

I'm not going to push for threads instead of processes for KIO. But I'd like 
to see the job logic go into kdecore, something generic to be reused outside 
KIO. I already introduced a depend to KIO in kdehw because of this... and my 
jobs have nothing to do with KIO.

Of course, I'm volunteering on this. It's on my TODO just after I reach the 
milestone 3 of my solid roadmap. I just hope I won't be left completely 
alone, from what I've seen of KIO internals I might have missed some 
difficulties.

Regards.
