WE WILL NOT DROP KDE, we just focus on Gnome (which is pretty obvious given our huge investment in Gnome developers). I just got a message from our Chief Linux strategist on this:
"we are not dropping KDE entirely, we will make Gnome the default and the recommended platform but the plan is to continue to offer KDE as an option in all of the Linux products. We have had to implement a large restructuring in the product development area and needed to focus our efforts. We are working on a full FAQ on our desktop strategy that will be available to you, but we will not be eliminating KDE as a part of this plan. I hope this helps."
I think this helps hugely! And I am so happy the rumors are NOT true.
I'm sorry, but I have to keep nagging about this: 1. Can you post an approximate date when the FAQ will be out? 2. Will the SuSE KDE modifications (essentially the contents of the kdebase3-SuSE rpm) continue to be maintained and developed for new versions of KDE?
