Yes, i think the original email comes from a bit of misunderstanding on how we 
work.

We are not a top-down organization.

There is hardly an "official" anything in KDE. 

We have dolphin but we also have krusader, sure one ships with KDE Gear and 
the other doesn't but that's more a release schedule decision than one being 
more official than the other.

We have gwenview and koko, both shipping in KDE Gear.

And more and more examples.

So unless the people working on kdesrc-build want people to stop 
using that and no one else steps up to work on it kdesrc-build will be as 
"official" as it is today, 0% official and 100% official at the same time.

Cheers,
  Albert
