KDE4 is 'done' from a development point of view. For several years there has been mainly only translation activity, so updating to new versions since then is not 'risky'. There are still enough people currently active and caring about KDE4 to fix the policy issues. Some of the fixing is done, but I think it's still ongoing. When it's finished KDE4 repos will use cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.9) without setting the ancient policies to OLD and without relying on OLD CMP0026 behavior. KDE4 repos may or may not trigger policies newer than 2.8.9. I don't know if there will be new releases from the KDE4 branches. Even if not, distributors can get the patches from the repos. So, for KDE4 the problem of CMake policies becoming errors is lessened. I'm not going to have time to design and implement end-of-life for CMake policies, so someone else can pick that task up if so inclined.
