--- Comment #9 from Martin Klapetek <mklapetek at kde.org> ---
> This patch adds just a few lines of code, without affecting in a negative way to KDE, so why not including it?

It brings additional maintenance cost, it brings additional testing costs, it
brings higher chance of things getting broken, leading to more bug reports etc
etc.

It's not always "I need this feature, why not give it to me"; the
maintainer/developer has a certain vision about the things he's creating and
sometimes he just has to say no. And you should respect their opinion. It's
impossible to always please everyone. That's just the way it is.

In my personal opinion, I would probably also reject that, I wouldn't want 3
billion options to allow every single combination of options...
