Not sure, it sounds like you see personal issues between me and Aurelien. I don't. 
(And I hope Aurelien doesn't either.) Not that I like the current situation with 
patches that won't be accepted because of different design direction, but to me 
there's a fundamental difference between Aurelien as a KDE hacker and Aurelien as an 
Ayatana ambassador.

At UDS, we've discussed doing things in a way that KDE can benefit from work being 
done by Canonical. I would have hoped that this way, we get things like queueing, 
prioritizing of notifications and improved layout / display into Plasma upstream (and 
there's surely room for that). That hasn't happened yet, and I hope it still will.

For some points, such as actions on notifications, there doesn't seem  much wiggle 
room on either side. We've talked about this over and over, and it's also where 
people get annoyed. Wrong focus, IMO.
