I don't understand what you mean. You mean if kdebase was compiled before
updating kdelibs? Well this would have given a compile error then.

What's better? An annoying compile error which means another download+recompile,
when the user was mostly updating kdebase for some other reason, or
a kdebase with *one* age-old rarely-happening bug still being there?

I'm surprised that this is raising objections, this technique has been used for
a very long time already...
