It was not a "smart" choice but a necessary one. There was lack of competent 
manpower to get it into good shape for kde4. There is still hope for it to 
come back in the kde 4 life time if somebody steps up to it.

kooka suffers the same as kdeprint. i.e. the lack of maintainers. kpdf on the 
other hand has survived.... it got a new name (okular) and more features too. 
arts as a design choice has been dropped.
