[OT]Off topic, but not really speculation.  Corporate users get a single sign 
on identity, which is for email, vpn, login, etc.  Anything else is atypical.  
Support for single sign on (SSO) is a stated goal of KDE 4; 
http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=SSO - partially due to the corporate 
desktop, I'm sure.[/OT]

The second part was a reference to the quality feedback agent.  Juergen, one 
of the other stated goals is the quality feedback agent: 
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-4.0-features.html

"Build "quality feedback agent" to report crashes and bad critical log entries 
to kde.org, then tools to statistically analyze the data and search for 
trends. Hopefully enough compiler info will be passed to do a proper symbol 
table lookup, to allow plotting crashes by method."

The idea has come up many times before, from being based on the mozilla 
feedback agent, to modifying kbugbuster, and even some ideas on 
kde-apps.org -

Since there are varying metrics for rating systems, it would seem easier (and 
better) to have something that helped the "average user" report issues rather 
than rating an application.
