i will revise kde 3.1 source to see,
There will be many 'temptations' like this going forward. I think the key is to stick to the following kde3 core values when evaluating features:
(1) Is it more efficient?
(a) can you do more with less keystrokes or mouse clicks? (b) does it improve code execution time?
(2) Does it improve usability?
(a) not from a "Gee-Whiz" standpoint, but can it provide real features to benefit the average user --or-- provide a better interface for those with impairments.
(3) Above All - Always Remember
-- A FEATURE IS A BUG IF IT CANNOT BE TURNED OFF!

While it does not improve any of those areas you mentioned, usability or speed, it does improve customizability which is important.
I would not be in favor of this, except for that fact that it used to exist. removing features is never a good thing! Regression of features is one of the big reasons why Tim is having trouble with Qt4! :P
It should be little work to do this, probably copy/paste and editing a few functions. If it was a large undertaking i could understand reasoning against it, but i do not see that being the case.
