Thanks for the link, Harald. :-)

KDE is enormously big nowadays. Its just so hard to follow everything.

I am not proficient in packaging, but it looks like Superbuild addresses the 
packagers questions and doubts quite well. So from my side its fine to do the 
migration.

It is now a matter of announcing it early enough to packagers and doing the 
actual work. Or does somebody still has objections. Trever, are you still 
willing to oversee it? 


 Greetings,
    Christian
