Parent article: The critics are wrong: KDE 4 doesn't need a fork (ars technica)

Many features were deliberately removed and are only now returning thanks to overwhelming
pressure from KDE users.

IIRC a lot of the justifications for the initial KDE 4 direction (now slowly reversed) were
made on Aaron's blog.  I have to rely on my memory because Aaron's blog was recently made
invitation only (not read only).

You're taking too much credit if you think that features deliberately 
removed and are implemented only because of overwhelming pressure of 
users. I have an archive of all of aaron's blog entries since january 
2007 and there's nothing that bears out your delusion.
