after changes to multiple sub-projects (Katie, kdelibs, kde-workspace
and kde-extraapps) that finally happened, can write lots about it but I
will keep it short - by rewriting parts that were using js/qml (e.g. the
plasma applets) the desktop startup was reduced to half, also the legacy
tray thing shall be no more (anything that needs tray icon shall be a
plasma applet now) thus some applications and features will be dropped
aswell. see all repositories for the changes done

note the check if khotkeys is automatically started - it was a KDED module
not started because of XDG autostart desktop file

cleaning up the mess, everything but KNotificationConfigWidget is
implemented.
not only does it not require additional D-Bus service (knotify) to
function but also does not transmit pixmaps over D-Bus, the features
to execute command or log to file are dropped and will not be
implemented.
also about markup support in notifications - if the server does not
support markup then it is supposed to strip it, see the spec:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/notification-spec/notification-spec-latest.html#backwards-compat
meaning nothing should be done by KNotification itself because it is not
a server, it is just a proxy.

a crashed program trying to restart itself is very unreliable,
especially program that uses KUniqueApplication instance. so, instead
all the information about the crash shall be written to a file on the
disk (in the temporary directory) and read by external kcrash KDED
module that will report the crash (possibily even upload the crash
details somewhere) and restart the program as necessarry.
this also opens up possibility for per-application configuration for
things such as the automatic restart feature but that shall be done by the
kcrash KDED module instead (parsing a config from a crashed program is
not a good idea)
KCrash::NoRestart will be unused but kept for future expansion

to replace the status notifier (in the kde-workspace repo) and
eventually manage network connections aswell as move network status
notifier out of solid

Katana (or any interface designed around key and mouse events) is not
for blind people, trying to slap text-to-speech on top of it was the
wrong thing to do to begin with
side note: speech-dispatcher tends to hang if the output device is not
configured properly (i.e. editing /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf
manually)

much simpler and easier to maintain, also it will be proper D-Bus
service now with no sockets, process title hack and whatnot. KCrash
and startkde script (in kde-workspace repo) have to be adjusted for
it tho
note that the internal KIO scheduler already has the functionality to
put slaves on hold but now they will be started as detached process.
eventually they may become plugins (they are loaded as such by kioslave
program) without event loop dispatcher
fixes application startup notification (ASN) and cleanup issues

it has to solve a few problems like:
1. blocking the current thread while listing, extracting or adding to
archive
2. lack of support for some archive formats such as 7-zip in the
previously available classes for dealing with archive
3. progress and error reporting
a KArchiveJob class may have to be implemented to solve the above
issues. the API is just as frustrating to use as KTar and KZip right now
tho and I am not happy with that but the class itself is a 3-rd rewrite
of what was once Python module, plugin for another project and now used
as base in library.

works as expected, services queries include two for IPv4 and one for
the advertised IPv6 address which have to be filtered:
