Oops, I overlooked the mail somehow.  I was aware of the issue though. So the 
thing is: if you already changed scripty, then merging back is the safer 
variant. Otherwise 3.5.8's kde-i18n might create a more untranslated kdevelop
than with the branch.

I wonder why you guys don't ask forehand. Now all I could do is remove 
kdevelop from kde-i18n and 3.5.8 completely ;(

But backmerge, I don't care. The idea in freezing KDE 3.5 was to keep people 
on KDE4 development, if it doesn't work for kdevelop and the development team 
is using dirty tricks to circumvent the freeze, I can't help.
