Weren't you the one proposing that subprojects should adopt their own git workflows?

THat would create a huge mess, extreme amounts of overhead, be very destructive to our community... This puzzles me as I know how much you love KDE. > Of course this list can be used to coordinate a combined release between > modules and what not. Coordinate?

I strongly veto your idea. What you are proposing is very destructive to KDE. Frankly, I think you're overreacting, also I don't see what you're doing here. Instead of trying to push your idea onto us in a very polarizing way "this is what will happen unless you veto", how about you help us implement the changes needed in our release and development process? It's really not *THAT* hard to imagine how this can look like. If you can't, then we can discuss that. Frankly, this looks like one big misunderstanding at best, or emotional overreaction at worst In any case, let's clear this up instead of making headless chicken proposals. If you decide to just walk away, that's fine, and we'll find someone else who does it. But please, don't try to set the house on fire before leaving it.
