I looked in the archives and this seems to last have been the case for
KDevelop 3.3.x, released in 2006-ish, or maybe a bit later.
This was > 15 years ago, completely different people working on a quite
different code base (the core C++ language support plugin was basically
completely rewritten *twice* since then!). So I'm not sure it makes
sense to be afraid of a potential ping-pong situation between being part
of KDE SC and not being part of it.
Compared to 4.0 times, the project is now very mature and instead of
fast-paced feature development by a small core team, KDevelop's progress
is nowadays more a continuous stream of small fixes contributed by a big
crowd. So while releases used to be driven by the motivation of a few to
get new features out when they are done and then quickly follow-up with
stabilization releases, that is no longer the case.
All the best,
Sven
