Worse, KDE4 is not only much heavier (which could've been acceptable). 
It is also not compatible -- people like myself, who customized their 
desktops with additional menus, who created knotes, etc. will have to 
redo all of their settings. KDE4, as built, is not even going to look 
under the ~/.kde. Though it can be compiled to consider the old 
directory, the format/syntax for many of the config-files has changed -- 
and there is no "upgrade path".

Before becoming "maintained", Trinity first needs to be ported -- a 
substantial effort, because, for example, the project switched to its 
own verstion Qt (Trinity Qt). All classes have been renamed from Qfoo to 
TQfoo...

This can all be handled, but meanwhile, until there ARE actual problems, 
leave the ports alone, please.
