Ok, let's make one thing straight here: I am now not criticising you. You 
did the right thing all the way through. I dropped the ball when I did 
not realise that the email you posted as "SVN Guidelines" was to be the 
conclusion of the thread.

What I meant about a "mail thread dying" out is when the discussion simply 
ends because there are no more emails before the conclusion/consensus is 
reached. "No more comments" implied to me that someone posted the summary 
and no one replied with objections.

You did post that summary. It's just that you posted it with a link to 
techbase instead with the proposal again. I failed to realise that.

That said, I again raise the objection to the /tags/unmaintained/3 
and /tags/unmaintained/4 subdirectories. IMHO, they are unnecessary. Just 
move the application directly onto /tags/unmaintained.

However, I think each application that is to be removed there should have 
a README indicating the reasons for its demise, the last known maintainer 
as well as the last version of KDE that it was released with -- 
especially for extragear apps: one needs to know which version of KDE is 
the minimum version needed to build it (for released-with-KDE apps, svn 
log can tell which version they came from). This last requirement negates 
the need for a 3/4 separation.
