Then I really hope that the current practice is only an exception for KDE 3.5, 
due to the hurried freezes. Because having an application only for a few 
days/weeks in kdereview has also inconveniences (as for example tracking 
translations).

For me, KGeography is one example where the kdereview system has failed. 
KGeography was already in kdeedu but the need of a discussion about its 
translatability was still existing (even if the thread on kde-i18n-doc got 
way off-topic).

Have a nice day!
