I was afraid you'd be saying that.
 
I can only hope that this will not become the consensus.

I could counter that even if *this* particular framework is going to be 
re-assigned to Plasma session there is still the possibility to provide a 
comparable, possibly stripped-down framework which would be about integration 
(and improving the KF5 experience and that of its customisation possibilities) 
on other platforms. Seems like a bit of a waste of resources though, given how 
little there is to strip from the code currently.

NB: I can rewrite the patch so that different files will be used on OS X rather 
than using #ifdefs.

Fellow KDE-Mac users, I'm doing this for the sake of our community so don't let 
me be a single voice in the desert.
