The problem with that approach usually is that master gets frozen during the 
GSoC period.
While we could probably make an exception for code that goes into 
kdepim/mobile (I don't think we official release that), some changes could 
affect even kdepimlibs and we certainly don't want to risk master branch 
there.

Suggestions welcome though :)

Cheers,
Kevin
