But why should it be made to work?  Why should the KDE SIG be able to
force the kernel maintainers to take a patch?  What if that patch
conflicts with one another SIG wants - who "wins" (if you can call it

SIGs should stick to their area of expertise.  The KDE SIG should work
on KDE packages and not assume they know what's best for the rest of the
distribution.
