Hi Ian, I'm not sure wether you're aware of the previous discussions
about this or not, but the kate devs would like to remove at least the
kate-dir from kdelibs when it moves to git (as kate has a separate
repository with ktexteditor-interfaces, katepart, kwrite and
kate-the-editor). They'd also like to move out the ktexteditor
interfaces so they don't have to keep both in synch, but IIRC there's
been close to no comments about that from the release team.

Just mentioning this so you can get in contact with them and the
release-team while working on the kdelibs rules.
