As far as I understood Cristoph idea was have a kate repo somewhere but on 
release stage Dirk would distribute the things as they are distributed now, 
e.g. katepart would end in kdelibs, kwrite in kdebase and kate in kdesdk. So 
if we put it in extragear/utils we are "lying" to our translators and to 
people that might use svn as source for their packages, etc.
