I would say that in this situation, they're a good candidate for splitting out into a separate module called kdebindings-support or even moving into kdesupport itself. This is, however, completely orthogonal to the Git migration. >> The reason for keeping it together is because the KDE team intends to >> release the bindings as a 'kdebindings' for each KDE release.
