Today reading through planetkde gave me quite a WTF moment. The merge of KWin and Plasma was announced for KDE 5. This is quite a WTF if I do not know about that. In fact I do not even know of anything “KDE 5”. So be assured: there are no plans to merge KWin and Plasma – not even in a hypothetical KDE 5. This does not make sense, would bring no benefits and the “advantages” posted in the blog post cannot be achieved by merging the code bases.

It would be nice if bloggers would at least ask one of the maintainers of the software in question if they have any plans in that direction before posting it on planetkde which is picked up by media. We have enough work to do without correcting non-sense or discussing how best to break the desktop.
