Yep, I agree totally. The big question is my mind is (1) time & (2) manpower 
constraints to implement its removal from tde. Every kde3 project that wants 
to move forward must be addressing this issue. While it might seem 
unmanageable for TDE to do it alone, or SuSE to do it alone, or whoever to do 
it alone, if we could somehow coordinate TDE, SuSE and whoever else (need to 
ID these) so that a common framework is chosen and the parts of the transition 
broken down into block 1, 2, 3, .... so that TDE does 1, suse does 2, and so 
on -- it starts to look a whole lot more doable.

Why not have a central halfreetkde3-wiki or something similar that could host 
removal standards and server as a patch repository/hub....

Instead of having 10 different projects separately trying to do the same thing 
10 different ways, it is far better to have 10 different projects contribute 
to doing 1 thing the same way....
