That's a misconception. And given the possibility of restructuring for
KDE4, extragear may gain more importance.
We'll have to see.

This is false. Extragear applications are translated too.

(c) and (d) are contradictory. You cannot dislike something and find it
nice at the same time.

You don't have to be in extragear to do that. In fact, Kopete *should*
create tags out of KDE/kdenetwork too.

Nor do I. We're looking into making modules more modular, so there's no
reason to create an entire new module for a single app, however big it
is.

Yes, kopete is probably larger than kdetoys, kdeutils and kdesdk combined,
but it's still one single application.
