What an odd little thing. I'm struggling to follow the chain of events in this summary. It's an interesting stunt, I guess. By 'stunt' I'm referring to the proposal being written in a deliberately provocative manner with a goal other than the stated one. Reading the "proposal" it's quite clear (to me) that it's not exactly serious. I'm a little bit sorry[0] to say this, but it reads like a fanatical sales pitch. I don't want to pick it apart, because that's not the point. But for one thing, a serious proposal to seriously make this change would justify its claims, by -- for example -- pointing to something like surveys and statistics. I think it's a bit of a shame[1], anyway, because as you read further, the sales-esque tone gives way to an earnest description of things wot KDE did good and the whole thing takes on a noble air, albeit one covered in obnoxiously heavy pens and, well, air fresheners. [0] if this was the idea, it's seriously well done [1] I have no idea if the people involved see it as a success or not
