lxr tells me it is only KCalCore and KAlarm. KCalCore uses it about 16
times. If we want KCalCore used outside kdepim then I do think they
need to try and live without the isDateOnly option and find a nice way
of doing it . For KAlarm I don't see a problem with you having your
own KADateTime class to do this.
