Let me explain what i meant by including and not excluding.

We had 4 categories, minimal, extended, extra and friends.
In my mind:

	MINIMAL is the basic desktop games, to discuss which ones, but for me it is 
clear that KPat is basic while KTuberling is not.

	EXTENDED is the rest of kdegames.

	EXTRA is games on extragear or playground (not inside kdegames but still 
inside kde repo umbrella)

	FRIENDS is games not inside kde repo umbrella that we want to mention.

So basically my idea is just one README.PACKAGERS with 4 lists.

What this does is incrementing visibility of EXTRA and FRIENDS, giving a hint 
of MINIMAL and not hurting developers because their game was not included in 
X but on Y.
