If you want to make it stay at the same release as when first offered, then RPMS might provide the best/easiest solution to make it available. On the other hand, if you either want to keep it up to date or use a 2 or 3 release cycle, then perhaps the module route might be more appropriate given that some key things are controlled by Red Hat. Yep, still planning on doing at least a kde-rawhide module. But, we do need something stable. And there have been other conversations I've had outside of this where people would like the stable kde libraries not in a module.
