0.12 being a special case or not, in fact we can release as often as we want.
Some distros (like Kubuntu) package Kopete as an app by itself, showing no 
ties to kdenetwork at all besides its dependencies. It can even point to a 
possible migration to our own module if distros already handle it this way, 
but the point is we do not have to be worried about how Kopete will be 
packaged for a particular distro. Distro maintainers are already paid to do 
so. We must be concerned about what does make sense from developers' point of 
view.

Well, Kopete handles lists of personal contacts and allows us to communicate 
with them, just like Kmail, but just in a more agile way. So that's why imho 
it belogs to kdepim. Kdenetwork made more sense before the contact 
integration, but now we're more PIM than a torrent kioslave.
Be it kdenetwork or kdepim, it will not make such a big difference at all, I 
just think the closer proximity with the kdepim team would help in the long 
run, but even this would be minimal.
