I agree. What I wanted to say (and it is just a remark) is that an acceptable 
(and even funny I feel :-) ) KDE3 game like ktron will likely be absent from 
next versions of the distributions if they are in playground or unmaintained. 
But it is also true that creating another category like "unported but still 
valuable" is not an option.
