Yes, please.
The distributions don't seem to include for example kpovmodeler from 
previous releases of the extragear module. I had some users complaining 
about that.
I think the reason is that these releases where never published on the 
kde release announcements. You had to go the ftp download page, and 
surprise, there was a directory called extragear with some more 
applications.
