--- Comment #56 from Steve Vialle <stev...@runbox.com> ---
Adding another voice to the growing "arbitrary and unannounced removal of
features breaks my workflow" choir. While this is a papercut I can patch over
on my bleeding-edge tinderbox desktop, it's a hard blocker to me moving any
systems I rely on to work over to plasma 6.
It is telling that discovering the cause for such regressions usually requires
digging through bug reports and commits, and doing so often reveals comments to
the tune of "This is niche / I don't understand the use case / I don't like how
it's implemented, so let's just remove it and see if anybody notices"...
Swiftly followed by somebody noticing, at which point a laundry-list of trivial
and/or tangential objections is raised to block attempts at getting the initial
decision reverted or functionality reimplemented.
This feature wasn't broken and it wasn't generating friction for users or
excessive bug reports. Rather it was removed because the contributor involved
wasn't using it and felt it was "conceptually wrong".
We have a PR, one which works as intended and which Andreas put considerable
effort into. Please merge it, and if "conceptual" changes are required (with
strong arguments and practical examples for such) down the line, implement them
in such a way as to retain feature-parity.
I thought KDE was, at least to some extent, a community effort. Please listen
to your community and your users.
Especially listen to your experienced power-users, because they are the people
most likely to and capable of engaging in reasoned discussion, useful bug
reports, and usable code contributions.
