P.S: reading this from you was unexpected but nice to see, considering
that you answered my question why most of the core KDE packages have
closed ACLs (is this still the case?)  you said "because the KDE SIG
is already doing a good job" (which is no reason why other people
should not be allowed to do a good job too ;) )
