  Personally, I find a lot of useful packages and tools using a search engine 
every week and most of those searches land on github. How do you think a person 
is going to search whether kde4 version of krusader is getting updates? Will 
she likely go to a search engine and type something like "krusader kde4" where 
the mentioned repo will be in top positions due to good naming? Or she'll 
likely considering to find the official repo, clone it, look at commits and try 
to find where v2.4 ended it's life? Just ask yourself.

objections from others (unfortunately, it's not enforced due to a weak 
infrastructure). It means someone needs to test the changes you propose in 10 
code reviews. Personally, I have no interest in kde4 commits anymore [...]

  It's a pity that you understand my words this way. I'm not stopping you here 
and, actually, I can't stop you and you know it. Anyone who has a permission to 
commit can update any branch in Krusader repo and many other KDE repos without 
even asking (this won't be a wise thing to do though). I was just sharing my 
thoughts and tried to reason what the right thing to do is. It's just an 
opinion and I truly didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'd like to see what 
other devs think on the subject.
