Sure, every time I need a new dep I'm going to do a bikeshed discussion like this one. That was the last time I'm going through this. I can do better things with my time. No, thank you. After the experience in this thread I can only advise everybody to never ever tell the larger KDE community that you are going to update the dep.

Yesterday evening I had already started writing the mail to Plasma devel about me stepping down as KWin maintainer. That is the result of useless, distrusting bikeshed discussion about new dependencies.
