Kppp being as specilized as it is, i don't think that anyone that doesn't use 
it can really work on porting it to KF5. How would I test it works?

If you have any coding skills you really want to try to do it, we can help.

Note that also the fact that we stop releasing it, doesn't mean that 
distributions *have* to drop it (though i guess it will happen at some point).

Cheers,
  Albert
