As Michele explained, users no longer update the files from KDE. 
When users now update the files from within kate the files are 
downloaded from the git tree and not KDE.

Michele manually checks the KDE site for updates at their end and 
then merges pertinent changes into our files. Our files have become 
a tad customized for Trinity. A direct update from KDE kills all of 
that. From now on there will be differences from our files and 
those in KDE. The content of some xml files will be different, some 
version numbers will be different, etc.

After R14.0.0 is released this doesn't affect active git users but 
will affect eventual official release users. If you are a git user 
then you will be current every time you sync your local tree and 
build new packages. Official release users will still have to 
update manually through kate, but their downloads will connect to 
the Trinity git tree and not KDE.
