Yes.

However, THIS LIST and THIS THREAD are not the appropriate places to
be having that discussion because you're missing EVERYONE ELSE that
actually has skin in the game.  As I said, this is the thread for
"what does Workstation want to do with KDE".  The broader discussion
needs to be hashed out on the devel list and/or the FESCo ticket.

Put another way, Workstation has said for a while now it wants to
include KDE.  We need to figure out as a product how we're going to do
that and what we need to do to accomplish it.  This is very much
supposed to be the "Workstation WG is free to integrate KDE into their
product in any appropriate way..." part.
