Yes, there is a reason -- Korn has somebody that agrees to maintain it.. 
KBiff doesn't.

KBiff is my "baby", the first KDE app I ever wrote.  However, I just can't 
justify spending the necessary amount of time to handle bug fixes and feature 
requests.  That's why KBiff was removed from kdenetwork after being in it for 
quite a few releases.

I've tried at least 4 times in the past to get somebody else to maintain it.. 
but for one reason or another, none of them have panned out.  Until somebody 
agrees to ACTIVELY (no half-assed attempts.. I can do that on my own) care 
for it, it'll have to stay out of KDE CVS.
