Its actually already used by kalgebra, so you should talk to the kdeedu

The svn log shows the last real activities on the kdelibs side from end of
september, are you sure there's not been some fixes in kdelibs that weren't
backported to koffice?

Also I can't see any evidence that the person that moved kformula to
kdelibs has "vanished", the last commit from him on "his" pet project is
from beginning of december.
