No, no and 153 times no.

You can not say "We decided not to release libkgeomap".

libkgeomap is already released as part of KDE Applications

http://download.kde.org/stable/applications/15.08.1/src/libkgeomap-15.08.1.tar.xz.mirrorlist

and so is 

http://download.kde.org/stable/applications/15.08.1/src/libkexiv2-15.08.1.tar.xz.mirrorlist

Who has decided that they are never ever going to be released again and just 
part of digikam source code? In coordination with who else?

I really hope this is just a bad joke.
