Is it really so hard to make a GUI that works for one attendee as well as for 
multiple attendees?

KDE is mostly about standard applications which are useful to a large group of 
users. For the kroupware project it might be better to have more specialised 
GUIs, but I don't think we should remove features from KOrganizer because of 
that.

KOrganizer aims at being a iCalendar compliant application. If it can't handle 
a file conforming to the standard this is bad. What happens, if you read a 
todo with multiple attendees with the kroupware interpretation of todos? What 
happens, if the user edits it or removes the attendee?

I don't know if there aren't users which make use of this feature.
