Ok, let's make one thing straight here: I am now not criticising you. You=20
did the right thing all the way through. I dropped the ball when I did=20
not realise that the email you posted as "SVN Guidelines" was to be the=20
conclusion of the thread.

What I meant about a "mail thread dying" out is when the discussion simply=
=20
ends because there are no more emails before the conclusion/consensus is=20
reached. "No more comments" implied to me that someone posted the summary=20
and no one replied with objections.

You did post that summary. It's just that you posted it with a link to=20
techbase instead with the proposal again. I failed to realise that.

That said, I again raise the objection to the /tags/unmaintained/3=20
and /tags/unmaintained/4 subdirectories. IMHO, they are unnecessary. Just=20
move the application directly onto /tags/unmaintained.

However, I think each application that is to be removed there should have=20
a README indicating the reasons for its demise, the last known maintainer=20
as well as the last version of KDE that it was released with --=20
especially for extragear apps: one needs to know which version of KDE is=20
the minimum version needed to build it (for released-with-KDE apps, svn=20
log can tell which version they came from). This last requirement negates=20
the need for a 3/4 separation.
