It is part of the translation process. I commit KDE translations, obviously 
upstream, in which in the documentation part entities are used for 
translators. Sometimes there is a new translator, so he/she needs an entity 
defined. Sometimes an e-mail address of a translator changes, so a change in 
the entity of that translator. These entities are in a kdelibs git repository, 
so I commit to that git repository. However, AFAIK, there is only one git 
repository, the one in trunk. I have no knowledge, and it was told some time 
ago, when the change was made to move that part of kdelibs to git, that that 
was the only place for this kind of data. So the data is available in the KDE 
repositories.

What I am asking about is that openSUSE takes that part of KDE, maybe KDE has 
to offer it as a separate packet, and puts it at the proper location in the 
distribution repositories. So it can be made available via an update to all 
users that use that package.

I do see the kde4-i18n-<cc> packet regularly being updated without a new minor 
release of KDE. This kdelibs stuff also contains all kinds of localized data, 
so why can't it be included in the process of updating translations.

As long as people do not remove any entity definitions from kdelibs, the 
newest version is backward compatible and can be included in any version of 
KDE.
