For the record, Kacper told me today that every developer is allowed to touch 
ppc/ppc64 profiles. Archies that don't want others to touch their profiles 
should mention it in the devmanual. I was not aware of that, I thought that 
!arch member is not allowed to touch arch-specific profiles. Anyway, KDE 4.6 
will be unmasked tomorrow.
