Hi,

As I'm not very active on this list (just posted a few release announces
yet) i'd like to let you know who i am, i'm the maintainer of
KMyFirewall which is currently hosted in extragear.

So my opinion to this is that i fully agree with you about the move to a
kde3 branch as (don't know if i'm the only one here) i activly maintain
KMF but on a very unregular base, meaning that i more or less try to
keep the app up to date with the all over state on KDE and do some
feature implementations from time to time e.g. i'll for shure port to
kde4 but only once kde4 is released (i do not have the time to maintain
me a snapshot installation).

So for KMF it would be absolutely ok if you move it to the kde3 branch
and remove it from trunk (kde4 stuff). But once i've ported it i would
of cource like to see it again in the trunk, well no wonder ;)

form me the buldsystem is the most important info, as i'm not activly
working with development releases of KDE i do no nothing about it yet.

I'd welcome this very much as at least for me it was not allways clear
how i should handle larger changes to may app (branch or not to brach?)
so from my point of view - a yes please do so.

greetings from sunny vienna,
