How does it confuse them? Because they out of the sudden get the maintained 
version and no longer the "who cares" version? Yeah, I can see their problem 
with that.

you need kde-i18n of KDE 3.5.7 for kdevelop 3.4?

They do use the tars, but they often grab bug fixes from the 3.5 branch.
At least remove the kdevelop in that branch and replace it with a directory 
that only brings a README
