I understand; in particular, playground == projects makes sense. But I
assume that stable/kdereview is meant as a placeholder for reasonably mature
projects, not necessarily submodules of the KDE supermodule (or any other
supermodule). It's a place to make the projects more visible and to point
out the stable nature.
(If projects in stable/kdereview were submodules of something, then moving
them from kdereview to the final place inside stable/ would mean another
awkward module move.)

YES!
