For hosting Doteasy is pretty cheap. 

There is however a more fundamental problem. I use very little of Koffice. For 
tha most part I have better alternatives. And upgrading the entire Koffice 
suite just to upgrade Krita is a bit like using a sledgehammer to swat flies. 
Thought should be given to producing a standalone version of Krita-- like 
Gimp, Inkscape, Scribus etc.  Its wings have grown to the  point where it is 
time to flee the nest, IMO.

Just a long range consideration.
