Urgency of KDE4 port. =(

The maintainers of Gentoo released a flash traffic ultimatum the other
day that they were going to be removing KDE3 Real Soon Now. Naturally, I
gave them a good and proper flaming with an arm's length list of
packages for which there are no usable KDE4 equivalents.

However, the problem remains.

I'm too stupid to figure out how to pull the kde4 git archive mentioned
the other day, I really do need help! =(

Hopefully I'll be able to load it and see what it implements, what it
doesn't, and how far off the rails the guy who wrote it was... =(

Sorry...

I don't mean to be insulting just there but I've been seeing a multitude
of spectacularly bad design decisions in a great many packages that I
require daily. I am suffering from diminished features and have had to
spend many hours keeping my system near it's normal bare-minimum
operating level. My continued use of Linux is becoming untenable!!! It's
not much fun knowing you have 4.8 billion instructions per second at
your command with a memory bandwidth better than half a gigabyte per
second when your computer is far too slow to let you type at the speed
you want to (for god's sake!!!)

In this case, skimming the code in GIT, I noticed that the person doing
the porting was not just converting base classes and stuff but making
fairly deep design decisions with regards to how components, and even
the core of the engine, will be treated. This is most distressing to me
because this is exactly where all those other cursed projects went
