That is definitely enough time to get it stable, but it needs testing
and lots of that.

Ralf, come forward on this, my opinion on it is known. Although merging
gives me the opportunity to implement a bunch of other things and clean
up the code somewhat. So, under the circumstances that we are looking
at March for the release of KDE-3, I'd say lets merge the kate part
KDE_2_2_BRANCH and stabilize it.

There are two possibilities,

1 Merge the KDEVELOP_2_BRANCH down into the KDE_2_2_BRANCH
2 Keep the KDEVELOP_2_BRANCH synchronized with the KDE_2_2_BRANCH

these are different things.

At one point, KDevelop will focus on KDE-3 only, backwards
compaitiblity can then be dropped. This may be the point to switch from
option 2 to 1.

But talk to the kate developer first! Kate is a bit different and I
believe in kate all this is better done with a plugin and some
scripting anyway.


Another option, maybe a friendly fork is at this point not avoidable
any longer. This would give gideon the chance to come forward and
release with KDE-3.
