It removes features and reduces flexiblity, all without discussing first.

I put the code into kde-www because I thought we were going to cooperate.

That won't work.  You're assuming, once again, that in the server we were 
going to put every KDE site.  sysadmins told you no, and everyone here 
told you no.  That's an inefficient use of the server resources.

My design only required one var in 99% of the files!  You had to point to 
one site.inc file.  The other vars go into that one measly site.inc file.

This is only a problem if we agreed to your mirroring scheme, which we 
didn't.

The code does work.  It just supports features you don't care about, and 
doesn't support the feature that only you want.

What will be broken?  I thought we started from scratch?

What's the point?  Unless we can make decisions, this whole project will 
fail.  And I thought it was clear that the decision was made *not* to put 
everything on the same server.  Your plan requires that.
