--- Comment #2 from Andrius Štikonas <andr...@stikonas.eu> ---
The main reason why late Volker Lanz decided to remove KDE Partition Manager
KCM module (i.e. systemsettings module) is that you can't easily make it have
all same features as standalone application. And this confuses people a lot
since they think that KCM module is the whole application.
Root privileges is another problem. Hopefully KPM will not require root in the
future but it is still quite some time in the future.
In addition, writing KCM module would require to spend a lot of manpower (which
we don't have that much and it is better spend on other things) on another UI
which will only be useful to Plasma users. KDE Partition Manager is obviously a
KDE project but it might be useful to other users too, it even has some
features that Gparted lacks (vice versa too, gparted does some things we
don't).
