Sure, when adding more features, a rewrite will make sense. I won't argue=20
against that. I just think that the rewrite might nor might not happen,=20
depending on your time constraints and motivation. I know that myself, ther=
e=20
is lots to do in Akregator, but everything that I have time and motivation=
=20
for is fixing a bug or two from time to time. So I have to make sure that=20
current Akregator stays usable even if I don't find the time and motivation=
=20
to realize the grand plan. So the most important thing is to keep the curre=
nt=20
KnowIt maintained and usable with current KDE and forthcoming KDE4, no matt=
er=20
if the rewrite happens one day or not.
