Yes, exactly, "us" meant "KTp". The fact that proprietary APIs (and even more 
so HTML parsing hacks) may change at any point, breaking KTp components that 
rel on them, was one of the central reasons why KTp chose to focus on open 
protocols in our vision. So that we can say "Sorry, user, Facebook is not our 
focus, so please do not demand from us to make it work".

Of course whether things are released/maintained by KDE as a whole has to be 
decided by KDE as a whole, but KTp should stay clear of having to play catch-
up with Facebook's HTML structure.

But yes, of course making it work in the first place is problem #1
