Thanks for your input. To be fair, openSUSE is the only Linux distribution I
know of that has mandatory code reviews of D-Bus service like these - so other
distributions shipping it is not really a sign of it being good or bad.

I can understand your frustration on the end-user side. Yes, we do have a
similar mechanism whitelisted for Gnome. The review history of this KDE
component (as well as for the ktexteditor D-Bus interface) was somewhat
unfortunate, going years back.

Anyway, we will revisit this component, but please bear with us, there are
currently other tasks with higher priority. Thanks!
