Farewell Pairs

[Marco Calignano]

Hi,

Pairs is a KDE4 application, and I thought would also kept in all the
Kubuntu releases that also support KDE4.
If it doesn't make any problem (and I think is not) would be really cool to
have the last Long Term support (16.04) with KDE4 and Pairs.
I could still intall that on the Kindergarten project (since the kid
already know the game) and gradually introduce GCompris.
Is that feasable or is it a big problem?


Cheers
Marco
