Hi,

> 1) Remove the DRM feature entirely

This will not be done until ISO 32000 changes in that regard.

> 2) Patch the default to have it disabled

Nope.

> 3) Patch the prompt to have an "allow/deny" option

Which prompt are you speaking about?

> 4) Patch the text to tell people where to go to turn it off

The text is currently shown as an entry in the popup menu of the page view.
Setting a long text in a popup menu is a big no-no in every HIG possible.

> Why are you tagging it wontfix, Sune?

Because KDE maintainers decided to not change anything, simply.

A final remark; John Hasler (and other people) wrote:

I'm just curious to know: if you don't use the package, how can you express an 
opinion on it? This for sure doesn't help about the current discussion.
