Well, at this time we did not commit to BC compatibility for libkdegames 
(or libkmahjongg) AFAIK. Your point about games in playground and 
extragear is interesting, this is something to consider. But I do not 
think we can afford to guarantee this at this time. It might not be 
important, as:

a) There appear to be no games in extragear, at least that I could find :)

b) The games in playground are not being released until 4.1, afaik.
