Is this a problem of HEAD kdelibs/Qt, or of developing in KMail HEAD?
I can't say that kdelibs/Qt cost me much time, I don't update very often (max.
once per week, sometimes only every 1-2 months) and in the worst case I can
always revert. Developing in a package like KMail, with a dozen other
contributors working on things like Kontact is certainly difficult, no doubt,
but this is neither a free software nor a KDE problem. If you want to
minimize your effort you would have to ask other to stop contributing to
KMail while you are working on it.
