KDE support

[Zrubi]

Hi,

My question is what should we do about KDE 5 related issues?

The release notes stating it is supported even if it is not the
default and even if it was dropped from the install media...

Should we still rise KDE 5 related tickets or it's gonna be abandoned
from now?

The reason I ask that I still prefer KDE 5 over Xfce and willing to
work to make it as usable as it was before R3.2


I wonder if is there any way to revert back to the KDE4 in R3.2?
(Or I have to stick with the R3.1 if I want a working Desktop
Environment?)


Thanks.

Depending on what you mean by "abandoned"... We will release
updates/fixes etc, _if_ there will be something to release. But we'll
treat KDE-related issues with lower priority, which in practice means
spending very little to none time on them. On the other hand, as usual,
we'll love to accept patches.

If I understand correctly, the majority of current KDE issues are about
tray icons. Is it possible to replace that new tray handling code with
old good which complied with standards?

Unfortunately no. We've tried that already and unfortunately upgrading
dom0 to Fedora 23 forced upgrade to KDE5.
