Hi, 

I have some concerns about this:

- this looks like a new subsystem - the deadline for that has passed months back for that

- we are in beta right now - adding large pieces of new code - untested with real apps - in kdelibs should be avoided imho.

- replacing something with something else and replacing that again for 4.1 is not optimal - do we want to go on that road ?

My conclusion would be that it is too late in the release process to do it now. I would suggest to move it to a separate location. kdesupport has been mentioned. 

I'm not the one to decide this, just venting my opinion here. If core developers say it is ok, I'm absolutely fine with it. Just wanted to raise it here.
