Maybe not kdeplasma-addons, but it'd surely be nice to have a way to release 
applets in between cycles, a bit like extragear. What I don't like about just 
dropping plasmoids (or in general, plasma addons) into extragear is that it's 
small pieces cluttering up extragear, and that it puts extra burden on the 
packagers (and we've already heard that it's hard to get distros to pick up 
individual applets). And it adds another module to those that I'd usually want 
for working on plasma (kdelibs, kdebase, kdeplasma-addons, playground/plasma 
and kdeartwork right now).

So there are a couple of options for those "out of cycle plasmoids":
- So create its own module (kdeplasma-out-of-cycle-addons)?
- Put them into kdeplasma-addons and live with lacking translation
- Put them into extragear and clutter it up that way
- Keep in playground and wait for 6 months until release

Am I missing something?
