I sort of dropped it because trunk/kdesupport seemed to do that job just fine.

(You mean kdesupport-for-4.2.)

I see -- but I'm still not convinced.
IMHO, trunk/kdesupport is just like trunk/KDE: it's ok to make changes that -might- break
things by mistake, but if changes are going to break things for sure (e.g. big refactorings
with temporary commits where half the stuff doesn't compile or work anymore), then
a work branch is better suited for that.

I know that we already discussed this, but it seems to me that among the kdesupport
developers only eigen would like a kdesupport-for-trunk? Correct me if I'm wrong.
