Please try before crying 'wolf'


Anyway; KDE is (and always has been) released independently of Qt.  I don't 
see why KDE should wait for a new release of Qt.  As soon as a new release of
Qt appears then KDE will benefit from fixes there; you don't have to get or
build new KDE packages!

Why do I hear so many people cry 'wait'; please let the release coordinator decide 
if the schedule that has been known for quite some time proves to be unrealistic;
until now I have seen nobody giving any reason to doubt Dirks abilities or KDEs
readiness for the market.

Besides; I am quite dissapointed that so short before the deadline people are 
saying that the dedication and time given by the many developers (where-ever 
they are hacking from) has not been enough to please the user;  do you want 
to wait until KDE is perfect?  That will never come, and you know it.

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
