But who decides about them and what is the criteria of the decision?
Saying that they are mature (and they have only few commits per release) 
is not a good criteria to exclude them.

I agree with you. After readin Lauri's mail I should back up a little 
with regarding to the documentation, yet I'm still wonderin how they 
will deal with many small different release schedules and deadlines. 
Having an own release schedule for an application doesn't mean that the 
developer will not break it by adding a new string after the string 
freeze, I would say they will do even more often as after all it is 
their own schedule and they don't hurt the whole KDE release. OK, this 
is just hypothethical.

It's more or less the same, but there is a difference and I'm saying 
that that difference might be bad for the developer, as it was 
explained in this thread by me, Thiago and even you in some aspect. ;-)
I see that not everyone shares my opinion, but well, that's life. :
