A compromise might be:  redirect from the kde.org domain to the actual domain.

My personal opinion is - and I think I was totally consistent with this w/
KDE.com - is if KDE does not control it - i.e., it is not in KDE's CVS - then it
should not have a kde.org domain name.

So if someone types in themes.kde.org, it is OK to redirect them to
kde-themes.org.  KDE can even advertise themes.kde.org on its own websites, but
should make clear to the third party that KDE may at some point in the future
redirect it elsewhere, create its own site, or stop redirecting it altogether.
