I think Matt's email was fair comment - although (in my opinion
obviously) incorrect. Matt's been using my software for a long time and
has contributed many bug reports and lots of the example scripts and he
has every right to make those comments.

When I started out with SIP/PyQt/PyKDE it was a hobby activity - I need
to program otherwise the creative half of my brain shuts down. Now that
I'm working full time as a programmer, I don't need the hobby so much.
SIP/PyQt/PyKDE is (apart from BlackAdder) still a hobby activity. The
result is that the work on supporting KDE2 is stalled.

I've got no problem with somebody picking up the work to support KDE2.
There is one technical issue with SIP to resolve to do with version
control. I may be motivated to sort this out if somebody was keen to run
with it afterwards :)
