I just recalled the discussion from last week (I think it was KStars) 
were people were contributing to different branches without coordination.

I also don't see the hurry with kde4. KDE 3.5 is supposed to be the 
great applications release and what we should focus on. Is it not better 
for us to let the kdelibs people get everything ported and stable and 
then we start porting our programs?

I don't even have the kde4 branch checked out. Do I need to do that just 
   to then be able to delete KVocTrain and KWordQuiz?

My other option at this point is probably to stop development and like 
everyone else jump on the KDE 4 bandwagon. But that defeats the purpose 
of a 3.5 release. My limited time cannot be split between two branches.

I guess kdepim is more coordinated, and it is easier for them to make 
the IMHO right decision.
