AFAIK it has been out-sourced to kdenonbeta to enhance it, without affecting 
the games which already use it.

Actually I thought that because KDE has no UDP game yet (sorry, the author of 
the fast side-scroller Kernel-Konq doesn't seem to work on that project 
anymore), we could just take a bunch of code from games which make use of it, 
like Stalker, and put it into a Qt-bound library for such purpose :-)
But as long as there's no such attempt, using straight TCP shouldn't give any 
problems.

I'm also planning to turn the DRS stuff I'm currently working on 
(http://mindx.sourceforge.net/drs) into a plain KDE thing as one 
implementation, so it may be contributed to libkdegames. However, this might 
take a while, right now it's not even working in console mode :)
