Plasma won't be the only user of it, but most likely the first. Thus I agree 
that it shouldn't be in the Plasma framework.

I'm wondering whether it makes sense to have the "KQuickControls" together 
with the original QWidgets or to put them into a new framework. If the code is 
done right there is a business logic class which is used by the QWidget class 
and could be very easy to hook into a Quick class. But knowing the age of 
kdelibs I doubt that this is the case for all QWidgets.

So own framework or kdeclarative. My suggestion: send your mail also to 
frameworks-devel or bring up the topic tomorrow in the meeting.

Cheers
Martin
