Hi Martin,

I think that is a reasonable suggestion. If distros patch our
dependencies we need to consider this as a fork. And a fork should be
called a fork. It needs to be clear that KDE is not responsible for
any
issues caused by the fork and thus the complete product must be
renamed.
Also if a component like KWin gets forked this means that the complete
product Plasma has to be considered as forked.
please excuse me, but I'd like to share some thoughts on the situation
from a
non-technical POV. Maybe it can give you an impulse to think about the
situation. Ignore them if you think it is inappropriate.
I think they are highly inappropriate and insulting. It makes me think
"Dann macht euren Scheiss doch alleine".
- OTOH, if you are maintaining kwin fulltime as paid job, I consider it
reasonable to expect that the maintainer is able to maintain necessary
#ifdefs,
Just answering that part. I do hope that nobody in the KDE community has
such expectation from company involvement. We should be thankful for the
work companies like Blue Systems put into KDE and not start demanding to
do boring and stupid tasks. I at least do not differentiate in the
expectation of paid and unpaid developers. To me everyone is equal.
I am also wondering why you haven't scratched your itch and provided the
ifdef.
Cheers
Martin
P.S.: I'm pissed about the highly inappropriate, personally attacking
approach of this thread. I am seriously questioning why I'm involved
with a community behaving like that.
