I fully agree here. There is no reason (yet) to remove KDM and the LightDM 
greeter and KDM are actually solving different problems (KDM being a full DM 
while the LightDM greeter is just a greeter for another DM).

So I fully support the addition of the LightDM greeter as an additional 
optional module in kde-workspace. Given that major distributions (Kubuntu and 
Debian) are switching to LightDM it makes sense to support this solution.
