A lot of users want to use KDE3, and it's not that experimental. They don't want to drag other stuff in. You can, BTW, access KDE's repository via HTTP. I agree with you that it makes life easier, but we could just give all packagers of KDE apps access to the repository, whether it be on gluck or ktown(.k.o). Currently, myself, Chris, Ben, David, and others have access to the ktown account. :) d (Ugh.
