I looked in the archives and this seems to last have been the case for 
KDevelop 3.3.x, released in 2006-ish, or maybe a bit later.

This was > 15 years ago, completely different people working on a quite 
different code base (the core C++ language support plugin was basically 
completely rewritten *twice* since then!). So I'm not sure it makes 
sense to be afraid of a potential ping-pong situation between being part 
of KDE SC and not being part of it.

Compared to 4.0 times, the project is now very mature and instead of 
fast-paced feature development by a small core team, KDevelop's progress 
is nowadays more a continuous stream of small fixes contributed by a big 
crowd. So while releases used to be driven by the motivation of a few to 
get new features out when they are done and then quickly follow-up with 
stabilization releases, that is no longer the case.

All the best,
Sven
