I was just commenting on the overreach of the statement. As a vendor with dozens of products, KDE has a lot of offerings people use while they are not using others. As I wrote yesterday, statements similar to that often spring from a fundamental misunderstanding about multi product vendors in the FOSS world or can lead an unprepared audience into such misunderstandings. Hence the need to add more context. Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring
