I agree. IMO what is distributed in a release of kdebindings must:

* be maintained
* be working
* up to date
* actually support KDE classes, and not just Qt, otherwise it is just a Qt 
project and doesn't belong here.

Perhaps we also need a "bindings_experimental" dir somewhere, and/or a 
"bindings_retired".

Calling Richard's action "sabotage" is just plain rude, IMO.

You stopped your project. Yeah, that's a bit bummer to have to do, but I think 
you have done a Good Thing for kdebindings in general. (your reputation 
certainly isn't damaged from my point of view. =) )
