yes, of course. i mean, some uniformity regarding the handling of kde
repos is probably advisable, but it probably doesn't have much impact.

whole has done so, as most of the criteria (and the tooling what will
hopefully result from that) are applicable to koffice as well.

the reevaluation would have an amazing inertia against it. which pretty
much would make it "impossible" or "undesirable".
