Hello plasma team,

I am not much happy to write this, but here it goes,

Since last three Plasma release it always bugged me that there were no
usefull changes in plasma-mediacenter, mostly because after being
contracted by Bluesystems I got involved into Plasma Mobile related
work and didn't manage to find time to work on plasma-mediacenter.

I already have some work branches in plasma-mediacenter which enables
the containment which can work nicely with remote controller, and other
local work branch for medialibrary improvements. However with the speed
plasma releases are happening I am too hesistent to merge those as it
would break things and I may or may not get time to fix those in time.

So therefore, I am proposing to move plasma-mediacenter to extragear or
playground and not release it with Plasma/5.8 anymore. In extragear or
playground I will be able to define my own release scedule and cycle,
and merge my changes.

If there are no objections within next week, I will file a sysadmin
request to move plasma-mediacenter to extragear/playground and request
Riddell to not release it anymore with Plasma/5.8.

Thanks
