Thanks for posting this to the ML Nico. I'm wondering since 24.08 is close to 
releasing I want to get KCrash in for some of my applications. We're past 
dependency freeze, though. Assuming I do the usual way of using KCrash (adding 
to .kde-ci.yml and using __has_include("KCrash")) would that need approval 
from the release team to make an exception? Or is it so inconsequential it 
should be OK?

Thanks,
Josh
