Yay! OK, let's attempt to move KLocale, KDateTime and friends to kde4support now. With some luck we'll be able to completely get rid of KDE4Attic before release.

Hmm, looking at that closer... indeed it looks like we can get rid of K*TimeZone in favor of QTimeZone. But what would you advise for porting away from KCalendarSystem and KLocalizedDate?

Alternatives for those would be needed to move the date/time widgets currently stuck in KDE4Attic to a more proper framework.
