Hi,
this thread seems to have stalled a bit. Can we please reach some
consensus on this?
I'm still seeing people discussing whether that particular topic
should go to k-c-d or <insert ML here>.

I fully agree with what Harald said. Let's just kill k-c-d and go on
with our lives. We already have all the MLs we need.

Cheers,
Elvis
