Yep, I was thinking about the same.
We have code that assumes KML is there, so kicking it back in extension
or community may not be as immediate as grabbing the classes and
moving them to another module (for example the layer preview GUI assumes
KML is there).
It's kind of a pity though, to have the KML module regress while competition
(MapServer) starts to have some KML support.
At the same time it does not seem like there is many people interested in
maintaining it, we'll see.
Anyways, this is a discussion we can have in a separate thread, without
having to involve also the GeoTools developers.

Agreed, definitely not suited to backports.

Cheers
