So you can remove pre-commit support too as not all has this support...
Or you can remove ECMQtDeclareLoggingCategory for sure not all kde 
software support it.

Just to be sure, you discussed on a channel where you know that I don't 
read it, without sending email on mailing list
and you decided with other PIM maintainers (I don't know that 
kmail/pim-sieveeditor/kaddressbook/mbox-exporter/ add more project
had official maintainer).


But you didn't send a email to ML or to me, and you decide without MR to 
reverse all.

I am right ?

So I maintain pim* from 20 years (2007) and you don't care and you 
decided to reverse my commit.

If I remember you reversed my patch on framework because it was not 
validating.

But it seems that you don't care to apply your rules to you.


I didn't know that you maintain something in pim*
