Test how? Are you porting stuff over to the branch to see how apps respond to
the changes? (I'm actually curious -- for the probably-kdelibs-at-some-point
classes that I've been hacking on here I always end up needing an application
to test them with and well, have written a couple.)

Fair enough. I don't doubt it would slow those working on it down a bit, but
it would probably also get a few more people hacking on it. I suppose the
interesting point is figuring out when one outweighs the other. Any rough
guesstimations on how far out such would be?
