I'll back the idea for not including evolution in KDE spin.
Hmm having evolution on a kde spin isn't really a kde spin.
Kontact is already among core kde packages why should the heck be a
replacement for that ? at least evolution is being supplied on the
repositories.
As far are firefox and openoffice are concerned, I'm ok with them, but
not evolution.

example:
Kontact communicates very well with kwallet for password storage. Now
if we include evolution in the kde spin, should we be working to
provide such feature for evolution?
