The 80/20 rule is about right. I think there is a big gap between what we
have now and something that KDE will run atop of. Having said that, I
believe once people see the initial work that has been done, that we are
serious, and the porting attempt is actually going somewhere, that should
stir some interest and may even see more support coming our way.
