I thought you got feedback on some of those, but let's repeat.

"Or we keep drkonqi out and have it provided by the workspace. If not 
available then kcrash could provide a default very basic one. Sounds like 
something for 5.1 though."

What I meant there, is drkonqi goes with the workspace today. And we'll make 
kcrash properly portable (and usable outside of our workspace) after 5.0.

Ben's words, I merely sent a +1:
"If this is such a problem, then kglobalaccel (the framework) should
gain backends for Windows, Mac, Other DE, etc. integration and
kglobalacceld is merely the implementation used in a Plasma workspace."

So kglobalacceld goes with the workspace. And just like KCrash we'll make it 
more portable after 5.0.
I also wrote:
"As a matter of fact we should probably make KXmlGui be able to treat 
KGlobalAccel as optional if the daemon isn't available at runtime."

If possible that would be nice to have that done before 5.0 though.

No opinion, no idea, not sure I see the problem in fact. :-)

Apart from KWindowsAddons I'm not sure I see the point of separate 
repositories for everything.

I agree there's one repository too many. But that's clearly workspace stuff to 
me.

What kind of feedback are you expecting here?
 
Cheers.
