And it is freeze day for Applications 14.12 and I am unable to work on it today.
So what do you suggest we do, Albert?

Since KDE 4 games are likely to be in the field (i.e. in the hands of users) for
some years to come, can we tidy up and clean up this point in KDE 4 software
releases some way?  And soon, so it does not keep dragging on and getting
forgotten, revived, forgotten, revived… :-(

Cheers, Ian W.
