He's one of the leading kwin developers. It would be a bit surprising if he was not a fan.

Personally I find turning window decoration over to applications an odd way to go about increasing consistency on the desktop. 

I suspect it is unlikely that features requiring CSD will not have any easy time getting support across the Free desktop. (fwiw, windicators are not, afaiui, such a change).
