Some reasons:

- They're not really part of a KDE SDK, they're general purpose development 
tools. So you might say "big deal, we just rename kdesdk to kdevelopmenttools 
then", but:

- In order to pacify users and not let stuff like kdewebdev and KDevelop 
depend on all of kdesdk, packagers have to split them out of the module 
anyway. 

- There's no real benefit for those applications being tied to the KDE release 
cycle. For KCacheGrind, it's even suboptimal - it should rather be synced 
with valgrind.

- We'd reduce the size of a main KDE module and stop a long standing trend 
towards the exact other direction.

In what way is developing in KEG not proper? You get to have your own release 
schedule, yet retain the benefit of KDE's build system and access to KDE's 
repo.
