Personally, I don't have an opinion yet. In my original mail, I said
"this is a suboptimal situation, and we will soon discuss possible
solutions to improve the status of this". Such discussion hasn't
happened yet, but one of the possible solutions is "svn rm".
Alas, and as I also mentioned in my mail, this only applies to half of
the modules: Ben Burton does all his work in the KDE repository
directly, not in the svn.debian.org one, so the modules he takes care
of are reasonably up to date. So one other posible solution is that we
maintain the rest of the modules up to date too, in order not to
remove just half of them.
Can we be given a bit more time to decide? (Of course, if the KDE
Project says, "well, take your time but we'd prefer them removed",
that'll be a quite importan factor in our decision, but till now only
Lauri has pushed for them being removed).
Cheers,
