Scope of framework integration plugin?

Hi all,

there is currently a review request to add OSX specific changes to framework 
integration plugin [1].

This seems wrong to me. I think our framework integration plugin is about 
integration Qt applications into the Plasma workspace. In my opinion it should 
not be used anywhere else. Not on GNOME, not on Windows and not on OSX. The 
idea of integration is that applications look native on the desired platform. 
The plugin defines the native look on Plasma and by that using it on other 
platforms is automatically breaking the integration.

Now I understand that some people don't like the native look of their platform 
and would prefer using Plasma. Sorry I don't have an answer to that. 
Unfortunately I think it's completely out of scope for the integration 
platform to be considered outside Plasma.

Given that: if people agree with my view that the framework integration is 
only about Plasma, I suggest that we move the framework integration to kde/
workspace to release it together with Plasma instead of frameworks.

Opinions?

Martin
