First, KDE SIG people are not the only persons that support and
maintain KDE , I'm maintainer of smb4k , kdenlive, kwave , smplayer and
more packages related with KDE and Qt .

The problem is not KDE SIG not support X11, the problem is KDE SIG want
drop X11 and force user to use wayland .

The other problem is not reach to an agreement with some members of KDE
SIG , which they think that can impose his decisions .
