Just answering now because i did ignore an email named "KDiff3 craft setup" 
since i don't know anything about craft and it seems now this is being used as 
some kind of agreement that KDiff3 should be moved to KDE Applications.

Personally given KDiff3 has not had any release on its own for a long time I 
would very much prefer to get a few releases on its own.

This way new features/fixes can be released sooner if needed and not tied to 
the more strict KDE Applications schedule.

There's also the matter of http://kdiff3.sourceforge.net/ being outdated/wrong. 
Do we have a plan to fix that?

Cheers,
