Thats life, you need to push it there. We can decide to move it to other 
places after 4.8.0, but now it is a bit too late.

There are two possibilities: 

a)  create a kdelibs KDE/4.8 branch for this purpose. (plus the patch to make 
kdelibs 4.7 actually look like KDE 4.8, which I currently apply to the 
tarballs only (in kde-common/release/make-kdelibs-4.8.diff)

b) add a tarball of artwork that I need to unpack in kdelibs prior to creating 
the actual release tarball to kde-common/release/* as well)

For me, it would make most sense to create a KDE 4.8 branch in kdelibs, but I 
would like to have more input before I create the branch. 

Any opinions on this matter?

Thanks,
