I don't know what it was costing them to support |
13 |
USE=-semantic-desktop. Their logic for no longer providing the option |
14 |
was that the effects of the option were now configurable in the |
15 |
control panel. Granted, you'd still end up pulling in the deps, but |
16 |
they wouldn't actually do anything. |

I like being able to use kdepim (or would if it didn't prompt me to |
19 |
re-authenticate with Google two factor on every login), so this is an |

improvement. I could see why others might want the flag to remain. |

If it works and somebody is willing to proxy-maintain the necessary |
22 |
elements to support it, they should be allowed to do so unless it |
23 |
causes some other problem. |
