Well, I'm not sure why the maintainer made the decision, but KDE 4.1 shipped
with a KitchenSync which required libopensync 0.36. Unfortunately, it
turned out to be buggy to the point of being unusable, so KDE upstream
disabled it in 4.2 (the KitchenSync code there has been ported to 0.38, but
its build has been disabled because of general brokenness), and even if we
wanted to reenable it (which I don't think we do), we'd need 0.38, so we
have no use for 0.36 anymore from the KDE/KitchenSync point of view.
I think the big problem there is that 0.40 has been promised for over a year
now (it was supposed to be released before KDE 4.0 - when KDE still planned
to ship kdepim in 4.0, libopensync upstream claimed they'd have a
libopensync 0.40 release in time for it!) and we're still stuck with buggy
development versions with APIs changing based on the phase of the moon and
plugins significantly lagging behind the main package.
