I've spent the last months (!) evaluating several possible solutions
with Eric, Maciej, Maksim etc. - you want to discuss stuff, we already
discussed in _length_ for ages.

I'm really too exhausted to describe it to you again, as I've tried it
at least 3+ times. I have numerous of reasons for this step.

You don't really think I drop year's of work (kdom, ksvg2, etc..) for
no reason, do you? I just do not want to spend time discussing things
with you (with mostly: no results!!!) where I already discussed these
things for ages with other ppl.

One last word on that topic:
Rob & me write a mail to kfm-devel, that we want to integrate with
khtml. The feedback was quite nice & constructive. And all you do
is trying to force us into the "integrated" vs. "modularized" discussion,
where we already decided to go the "integrated" way. Sorry that you
didn't notice, that we have had these discussions on #ksvg since quite
some months. - -

A big sorry to all kfm-devel readers, to disturb your time with such
"private fights" - that was the last comment from me on that topic.

Bye
 Bye
