Because Karbon14 has a maintainer and Kontour has lost its maintainer.

It is as simple and as complex as this!

An application or some part of code without a maintainer (and with not even a 
developer) ages quite quickly in KOffice. 

What was supposed to be Kontour 1.2 did not work well, Kontour 1,1 could not 
work with KOffice 1.2's libraries and Karbon14 worked well but had few 
features. So we had to choose. We have chosen Karbon14, as it was the 
application that needed the less work to come to a "releasable" state.

Have a nice day/evening/night!
