how many is many? if kpovmodeler targets many/most of the artists out there, 
but it happens that most KDE users aren't artists, then does it target enough 
people?

i think Quanta has found a good middling ground by following and being 
included in KDE releases, but being in it's own cvs module. it obviously is 
targetted at a healthy size audience: web design. on the other hand people 
who do web design are likely a small-ish % of KDE users and Quanta is a big 
piece of software.

perhaps there should be a policy regarding those types of important and 
KDE-compliant, but large and non-mainstream applications such as Quanta and 
KPovModeler.

i agree with all the other points made so far in the thread...
