Pardon? What you see in KDE's CVS is the KDE part of it.
KAddresbook has been amended with OpenLDAP support. This is already in head. 
Does anyone here want to say that it shouldn't? Waldo?
KMail gets a new plugin mechanism for cryptographic plugins and some 
enhancements to body part handling. This will be merged into HEAD VSN.
Again: Anyone here against having that in CVS???
The cert management part was previously part of KMail's config dialog. i asked 
them to extract it into a stand-alone app since I think that it's out of 
scope for KMail proper.
This part is in CVS since KMail/Aegypten will not really be useful without it, 
at least when using S/MIME. Consider it part of KMail.

Do you see gpgme, newpg, libgcrypt, libksba, dirmngr, pinentry, openSC or mutt 
anywhere in KDE's CVS?

Can everyone please stop throwing uneducated guesses and FUD around, please? 
Thank you.

Marc
