Just to chime in here, this is clearly wrong. A KDE App (or project, if you 
will) is not defined by its technical dependencies, but by the people who 
write it, see manifesto.kde.org.

Daniel, I think you've gone a few years back in time, stuck your fingers 
firmly into your ears as to the reasoning of the whole rebranding, and are now 
trying to turn back the clocks for no good reason.

Would you mind giving the rebranding another try to actually understand it, 
and not work against what has been years of work, and not an easy, but very 
much necessary endeavour? Then we could actually move forward, instead of one 
step ahead, two steps back.

Thanks,
