OSVs and sys ints can make that choice.

that would ensure that the workspace would get next to no testing, in turn 
ensuring that it would appear rather raw for 4.1. that would be a stroke of 
sheer genius; and by genius i mean larceny.

however, i'll sit back and let whatever other people want to do happen because 
i am, at this point, sick to death of dealing with these topics. and it 
hasn't just been plasma, it's been a huge number of the interesting things 
that have made it into kde4.

if this project wants to really make the second decade of its existence a 
success, we are going to have to learn how to take care of people and reach 
meaningful consensus a hell of a lot better. a hell of a lot.
