In case the changed policy is chosen, this is the status for kdeutils:
we have been working on the rules since last year and their quality is
already quite good. I am currently waiting for Nicolas' work on some
general rules that should affect multiple modules and for a final review
of everything.

My original intention was to migrate before 4.6.3 -- even though the
rules are pretty much done, both Nicolas (who is also working on many
other migrations) and I may not have enough time to have everything in
place before the 4.6.3 tagging. But even if we do not, it should not
take much longer than that (certainly much less than the 3 months we
would have to wait if the original policy takes place).
