If cvs2pack is patched to copy the right translation files from kde-i18n,
then kdenonbeta can be used for all that except the web space for the
tarballs. Hm, ftp.kde.org has an incoming dir, has it not?

You'd get all of the benefits of KDE CVS without having to be in the
official KDE meta packages. You could even still be part of the release,
possible we need a module for that (stuff that will be released, but as
seperate package). Didn't we discuss the ninth gear idea before when GNOME
had a fifth toe?
