It goes to the core of a something I criticise about the KDE development pr=
ocess.
(As flames often ignite faster than I like, let me add that I mean friendly=
 criticism.
It is meant to help improving the already nicely working process not bashin=
g it.)

Naturally some people want to play with new stuff, that is perfectly fine.
Others want to keep stuff stable, that's also a worthwhile  goal.
As KDE gets bigger and more successful or widespread with users
the latter group is growing in size. If your force the latter group,=20
you put a limit on the stability you can reach.

One approach to help this, would be to increase to
have each software layer "defend" its own goals against the other layers.
This not yet a full worked out proposal, just an idea on how it might work.
