Are you arguing that kdeedu should _as a whole_ be considered a sort of 
extragear that _as a whole_ has its own release schedules, string freezes, 
release dude (or dudette, as the case may be)? I can imagine that working to 
the benefit of the translators (which other thread recently was it where 
Lauri pointed out that i18n is easier with smaller crunches more often?). I 
can imagine that working to the benefit of KDE packagers -- one less big huge 
module to make sure is in tip-top shape with the current kdelibs. I can even 
imagine it being to the benefit of kdeedu because it can release _more_ often 
with update data files. An obvious downside is that kdeedu would have to 
start worrying about compatibility and define _which_ kdelibs it is for at 
any given point (probably most-recent-stable-release, just like PIM).

Is that it? Can you find someone to RD edu, and so relieve Coolo (still main 
RD?) from a little bit of work?
