No. We have never seen a actual contributor ask this. Believe me, having
the backends on a neutral cvs is not the problem right now. If we would
have moved the backends to sourceforge when the KDE guys said they where
going to start working on their tools we would have had to add burden to
the current developers and none of the KDE guys have done anything since
then. So the real answer is that we are waiting for a real user of this
code to ask for this, not for potential users.

the name of the backends is really not important, nobody is using them
right now so i don't see how this matters at this point. The important
stuff is the code and functionality.
