If there were no KDE browser at all, we'd have no other choice. But a KDE 
browser exists and should be shipped.

But even if there were no KDE browser at all, I'd be looking into Qt 
browsers (Qupzilla, Arora, etc.) before considering a GTK+/XUL one like 
Firefox.

If there were no other KDE alternative, we'd ship what is there. But as you

thankfully, Konqueror is not THAT obsolete. Even KHTML supports things IE6 
did not support, KWebKitPart is a lot more up to date.
