Anyone who installs gobject libraries, and wants to use language |
| 17 |
bindings with them will want introspection. This means |
| 18 |
python/vala/javascript for now, and *all* languages in the long run. |
| 19 |
If you use KDE, you simply won't install the various gobject |
| 20 |
libraries. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The use-case for disabling introspection globally is if you will never |
| 23 |
use any gobject language bindings for the next 4-5 years. |
