Fedora rarely patches KDE other than a few minor backports and some 
tweaking of defaults but this sort of criticism goes both ways. While 
other distributions patched KDE 4 heavily to make it parallel 
installable with KDE 3, Fedora did not and received quite a bit of flake 
for that. What would be the upstream standpoint on this?
