	No, I choose a car that carries my and my family's luggage in a 
reasonable speed. Most of the time I can drive alone, but it is still usefull 
to have a reasonable sized trunk to carry something for me or someone of my 
family. Or do you think I should always buy a moto and never a car just 
because I prefer driving fast?

	I think dropping work must be carefully decided, if nobody uses the code 
so drop it. I am ready to drop Kopete once telepathy-kde fullfills my needs 
and I have already dropped features from Plasma NM that nobody used. If there 
are people using oyranos I think that must be taking into account.

	That was not my suggestion, somebody else suggested that in #kde-devel 
and I agree because I think that fullfills the needs of most KDE users.

	Like everybody else's opinion in this thread.

	I do not have a need for color management nowadays, which does not mean 
I cannot help fullfill somebody else's needs. I do not always do things for 
myself only.

	How that is different from oyranos?

	By reading the front page of both web pages I cannot judge which one is 
more complicated. I do not have time to read all pages in both projects now 
too.
