 I've already moved ksplashml to unmaintained/4 . And I think it actually 
makes sense to have such a separation. Imagine we had this since KDE2 - with 
a flat hierarchy /tags/unmaintained would be now cluttered with apps obsolete 
beyond repair and one would have to check README's or svn log to see that.
