I don't think that extragear/libs is the right place for the libs in 
kdesupport. In my view dependencies are the main criteria for the modules. 
Putting kdesupport into extragear would create a cyclic dependency, which is 
a horror for everybody concerned with building or packaging software. So 
keeping the stuff which is a prerequisite but independent of the KDE platform 
in kdesupport does make sense. The software in extragear depends on the KDE 
platform, that makes sense as well. But mixing the two seems to be a call for 
trouble.

We should make very clear what the policy for kdesupport is, which components 
are needed for what and what release policies and schedules apply.

So my feeling is that it's a matter of documentation, not moving code to other 
modules.
