Certainly, the KOffice applications are all mature applications that together,
or separately, can be run on most platforms out there.

KWord and Krita are both apps that have been separated from KDE in important
ways; they run on all unixes, macOsX and Windows already. Other apps are sure
to follow.
At the same time we will keep on using the kde libraries to get the nice
features KDE gives us where available.

Bottom line; you can see KOffice as a separate project that is mature enough
to be on its own.  At the same time KDE is a very well known organization and
we embrace the affinity and features that this gives KOffice.

Cheers!
