</div>How's the history of Bluecurve relevant for the state of KDE in current<br>
Fedora? Bluecurve isn't even the default anywhere in Fedora anymore! And<br>
the state of KDE has changed a lot between RHL 8 and now. In particular,<br>
KDE is now maintained by a community SIG (also including 3 RH folks), not<br>
by a single person at RH. And the decisions are now taken by the SIG, not<br>
RH. The RH employees work with our SIG the same way we volunteers do, they<br>
don't get instructions dictated from above. And FWIW I still use Bluecurve,<br>
I even ported it to KDE 4 (see Quarticurve) and I don't see what's wrong<br>
with it.<br>
