Agreed, this thead seems to have been blown out of proportion really. |

One thing is if you install a fullblown DE, then having semantic-desktop |
| 27 |
is fine, it's also fine that the DE forces you to build it, being that it |
| 28 |
can be turned off. However I think that random apps that are a part of the |
| 29 |
DE, but can be deselected, shouldn't have to force the users into building |
| 30 |
anything that the DE requires. It just seems silly that if you want to use |
| 31 |
the newest version of kate, kmail etc. that semantic-desktop is forced |
| 32 |
upon you, when you're not interested in having the entire DE. |
| 33 |
That's just my take on it anyway. |
