I'm of exactly the same opinion. The whole of kdelibs is 250mb, if
deleting ktexteditor stuff made it smaller by more then a handful of
megabytes I would be very surprised. So I don't see the point in doing
so.

Plus I don't really think there is a consensus on the 'kate
rebellion', I'd rather just stay out of it. :) As far as I'm
concerned, kdelibs converting to git changes nothing for the kate
situation
