it's entirely beyond me how you both can post a bunch of examples for
character evolution, and then imply that this has *any* relevance to the
situation at hand, which is nothing short of a revolution.
to get from the current konqi to this new design you'd need at least
three gradual changes spread over three decades to even remotely match
any of the linked examples.
