Anyone who installs gobject libraries, and wants to use language bindings with them will want introspection. This means python/vala/javascript for now, and *all* languages in the long run. If you use KDE, you simply won't install the various gobject libraries. The use-case for disabling introspection globally is if you will never use any gobject language bindings for the next 4-5 years. -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan Gentoo GNOME+Mozilla Team
