+I said I "started working on the TDE packages", not that I have completed
+and fully debugged them. Right now I'm quite demotivated to continue with
+this since I don't see the point given that it won't be included in the
+repos.
+
+Xavier's post about qt3-devel are also being completely ignored and they
+have nothing to do with TDE, but are at least as valid.

+
+Maybe because core members of Mageia have explicitly said they are against
+TDE being included in the Mageia repos earlier in this thread?

+Who is "we"? I don't recall any debate about this and even less a consensus
+being formed in the community.

+
+Mageia claims to be an upgrade for Mandriva, so yes, this is packages being
+dropped and loss of functionality for existing users, see also Xavier's
+posts.
+
+John, please don't get me wrong you and Blino have been some of the few
+voices of reason in this thread and I appreciate that.
