You should probably not take the opinion of one developer as the official position of the whole of KDE. KDE has not got an official position on this topic yet because there is still too much up in the air: are these laws going to stick? Will there be a loophole or exemption for FLOSS? Will it be possible of have the thing disabled be default and just be there for product manufacturers to activate in their products sold in the affected regions? Will it even fall to the devs of desktop projects to like ours to implement this? Will it matter at all or is this all just theatre and the user can just input anything, say, 01/01/1901, and be done with it? And, probably most important of all: Will KDE as a community comply? This is not up to one developer. There is usually lot of discussion, often a vote. There are lot of different nationalities and people with diverse opinions. Just because one contributor has expressed an opinion, does not a done deal make.
