Huh? Maybe I'm wrong, but can't stuff in playground depend on any KDE
module? Its not very likely a DB plugin for KDevelop would go into the
kdevelop module. Rather it would live in playground/devtools and be
available via <whatever we come up with for easy plugin installation>. 

So having that in koffice/libs and having the plugins using it in
playground shouldn't pose a problem, unless of course I'm mistaken.

In fact it will keep BC just as kdelibs (except for the plugins subdir).
However it will only keep BC once it is released and this will not
happen together with KDE 4.0.
