My observation is - do want KDE to be a module for EPEL8? I'm actually slightly surprised to find that Gnome does not appear to be modular in RHEL8, but if we face something at all like the KDE 4->plasma transition during RHEL8's lifetime it seems like a good thing to have. Also, I've found them quite useful for building ordered sets of dependencies and dealing with updates. -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion@xxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/
