you're confusing things: the desktop is still at beta4. I might agree on that 
the first 3 betas were crap, but at least it only took us 3 betas for the 
final KConfig refactoring to be done, right? ;)

All the plasma stuff is outside of kdelibs, and only kdelibs is preparing for 
a RC. 

The advantage of releasing kdelibs earlier is that there will be some other 
applications available that need a stable kdelibs release to be able to 
release as well. 

Its just not *feasible* to release your own pet project for Qt/KDE4 right now 
because if we continue breaking API with the rate we did in the past, the 
tarball would be broken one week after the release.
