Was probably so people could find a distro with KDE, back in the day.
These days so many distros carry our software that i'm not sure it has
any worth anymore.

I'd be in favour of killing it, pointing people to a list of
distributions which carry KDE software (not stating versions) on the
wiki (so people / packagers / distributors can self-maintain it).
