Downloading already didn't work for me since quite a while (the operation never completed) but what does this mean for highlighting files I write myself (or someone's mom does)? > Other users who do not follow the latest development releases [...] are likely not the target audience for downloading highlighting files. I take a bit exception with this; users of certain distributions that aim to allow them to work *with* the software instead of *on* (as in applying updates) are being compared with a rather negative and probably sexist view of their mother. The opposite is true for many such users: working with stable releases means you have more reason to update things like highlighting files. FWIW, there was never a reason to have a download/update button in the "userland" configure UI; a KCM provided by the highlighting framework would make perfect sense (that same KCM could serve to disable/uninstall useless highlighting files; your mom probably doesn't need more than half the ones that get installed.
