I have no problem to move ktexteditor, too. I only found it more easy for the 
packagers to do it that way, as all compile time dependencies stay the same.

Beside, I did the syncing of ktexteditor since more than one year now and 
really, there is nearly no change. But yes, I would be more happy with one 
place too, I only not like the idea to enforce people to have kdelibs.git just 
to test new extensions.
