i don't think there are any in there that should be moved to kdebase (in fact, 
if i had my way, i'd move a few out of kdebase and into addons).

we used to just have "base" and "extragear" back in the day ... the binary 
compat issues bit us, though, and release team said "move them out of 
extragear", so kdeplasma-addons came into being.

even if everything moves into extragear, or some similar large melting pot, 
i'd still like to see at least two sets of addons there:

* ones that we put a "Plasma Seal of Approval" on and which we make available 
in a package on the KDE Release Day

* ones that are available as additional extras, which the core Plasma team 
doesn't have to particularly agree with design-wise, which don't have to meet 
any specific quality requirements, etc.

this split allows us to offer more addons that the Plasma team takes 
responsibility (e.g. maintenance) for, while bringing more of the plasmoid 
writing community together in one place. as many of the third party plasmoids 
as we could put together the better, community-wise, imho.

we achieve that right now with kdeplasma-addons and the possibility of an 
extragear package. with git and redmine, we may reexamine the repository 
approach, but the end results should be the same.
