Martin's answer (he forgot to Cc) :

I agree. We have various servers (including e.g. www.koffice.org which is hosted on sourceforge),
why put it all on one server - and see everything go down when that server goes down?
Why fix it when it ain't broke?

devel-home, kmail, kandy (?), kate, bugs, www.konqueror.org
and maybe other things.
Please note that www.kde.org is NOT hosted on ktown(==master).

> Are we still going to be able to make use of KTown if all those get moved to the kde.org server?
What's the "kde.org server"? That would be new role for ktown, you mean?
I believe this is a bad idea.
