Just answering now because i did ignore an email named "KDiff3 craft setup" \
since i don't know anything about craft and it seems now this is being used as \
some kind of agreement that KDiff3 should be moved to KDE Applications.<br> <br>
Personally given KDiff3 has not had any release on its own for a long time I would \
very much prefer to get a few releases on its own.<br> <br>
This way new features/fixes can be released sooner if needed and not tied to the more \
strict KDE Applications schedule.<br> <br>
There's also the matter of <a href="http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/" \
rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/</a> being \
outdated/wrong. Do we have a plan to fix that?<br> <br>
Cheers,<br>
