That was certainly not my intention.  See my latest reply to Laurent.

That is an idea, but only for bug fixes.  Also I could just go back to local repositories
or tags maybe, then just release patches "downstream" to MacPorts on Apple OS X.

The danger in that is that things that are fixed/improved in KDE 4 will reappear as
unfixed/unimproved in KF5/Frameworks/Qt5, when we eventually get them on the
Apple OS X platform.
