Because we'll be continuing to fix bugs in 2.9. I did a test run of these 
changes last week and tried to cherry-pick some patches and it was a big 
failure. So I thought that having the changes in 2.9, too, would make 
forward-porting of bug fixes easier.

Well, that's why I specified following kde-dev-scripts, not just copy and 
paste from techbase -- it's got instructions to patch astyle so it works 
better.
