Looking at the answers thus far it seems pretty clear that everybody is
either in favor of dropping out of the 4.4 cycle or is not 100% sure but
would prefer doing it if it gains us something.

I'll wait until sometime sunday afternoon and will then announce this to
the release-team and see wether I can move the projects or wether I need
a sysadmin to do the move for me. That way we won't be part of the KDE
4.4 beta which will probably be less confusing to users (compared to an
app that vanishes in beta2).
