The other kde editor, kedit, has its own package, so I thought the logical
would be that kwrite had it too.
I see some disadvantages on being kwrite part of kdebase:
- people who use another window-manager probably don't get or install
kdebase, so they wouldn't know where kwrite is, or maybe even could think
that kwrite haven't been ported to kde 2.
- people who want to update kwrite would have to update too the huge kdebase
(and if it were a unstable release that could have unexpected secondary
effects).
It's strange to me that nobody else wouldn't have asked for splitting the
kwrite from kdebase before. Maybe most people just did an "apt-get install
task-kde" and didn't know where kwrite came from.
I realized because I downloaded very few packages (kmail, knode, konqueror
and kdebase) so when I saw kwrite in the menus the first thing I thought was
"but, what is doing here kwrite? I still haven't downloaded it!"
