My first thought was: Hell yes please! Second: It doesn't solve my issues.
I'm alone on the OpenBSD KDE ports road. Sure there are some users out
there but not porters. That's okay with me, except it's difficult to
update KDE4 ports by an import which need an OK.
So that doesn't solve my problem. With x11/kde-applications I am
currently updating just top-level applications and not the KDE Desktop
system. I want to go the easy way fist, replacing (more or less) all
KDE4 applications with KDE5 so that the KDE4-Desktop can still exist.
If this path is over and I can't get any further, we can delete it.

This is a great offer, thanks in advance.
