A cleanup, starting from ground zero?  Who gets to define what
"core desktop" features are?  Why would thing used heavily and every
day be stripped out, and replaced with unproven things? (or nothing).

Why not just recompile everything making the minimal amount
of changes to get it to run in the new infrastructure?  Why Gnome-ify
KDE?

Why toss out so much and wait for bitching to decide if you will add
it back in?  (And then act so defensive when bitching arrives?)

Why hide Kong Filemanager mode so deep? What possible reason
would there be to rewrite Konsole?
