Which other KDE packages have their own release cycles? Things like KMail certainly have their own numbering as well but they're still tied to the official KDE release cycle (and so using the official KDE numbering can still make sense). If apps eventually break out of the KDE release cycle, their numbering can always be changed (like KOffice did when it went solo). But extragear apps have never been considered part of the official KDE release in the first place. Ben.
