Well, then why not implement them first.  If it then is too big we still
can outsource it, although I think on of the kdeextragear-* (or however
the modules are called now) is enough.  I mean, currently the kate
directory is 1.2 Mb, while kdebase is 61.5.  This isn't a bad proportion,
so currently size is no issue.  If you wonder about the abilities of kate
being too advanced for kdebase, well, so be it.  You can btw. also release
separately from kdebase your own kate package, if you absolutely want, so
this shouldn't be an issue as well.  I.e. right now I don't see the need
to factor it out.  OTOH it's basically yours, so you kind of decide anyway
;)


Ciao,
