Do you mean that a Framework is mature only if it's tier1? Is KIO non mature 
(and it won't probably ever be)?
I see some functions being so complex that in order to lower the tier for a 
framework one of the two should happen:
1) remove functionalities
2) put code in Qt.

Even 2) would be quite hard, and I wonder what would happen if all the 
relevant code would end up in Qt (yeah, almost "kdelibs merged into Qt"! 
and maybe someone on some forum/known website would start screaming about a 
bloated Qt without thinking about the situation, but I'm digressing).

My take: it is simply not possible (not before maybe Qt 7) to reduce the level 
of some frameworks, without them being "immature".
