Anyway, as the guy who opened up the issue proposing that KDE explicitly allow slop PRs quite validly points out, it's not really up to anyone but KDE contributors. That's fair.
But what the same guy is a thousand percent communicating though, is that KDE is not for people like me. It's not for people who have something to lose to fascists. If KDE developers don't want to stand for KDE's users, there's no obligation for them to do so, but let's not mince words about it either.

This is not academic to me. It's very analogous to the situation with Calibre — not identical, but analogous. As lead developer of Calibre, Kovid had zero obligation to his users. He was *and is* free to betray Calibre users with impunity. I don't hold his choice to do so in high regards, however, nor do I hold the guy opening that issue on KDE's AI policy in any kind of particular respect. I hope that the rest of the KDE crowd tells him to take a hike and stop making things worse. We'll see.
