I expect any x release to be better than a y release, provided that x and y=
=20
are in the same class and x > y.

Exceptions are major architecture changes, like KDE 4.0.0 (though its=20
comparison would be KDE 3.0.0 or 2.0.0)

As long as KDE 4.4.0 is done better than KDE 4.3.0, shouldn't we be happy? =
It=20
will be better than 4.3.2 in the aspect of functionality, overall bugfixes,=
 but=20
it might introduce a few regressions. As long we're moving forward, a few=20
steps back don't hinder us.

That's not to say we should let that happen blindly. We have to have the ef=
fort=20
of reducing regressions (those step backs) in each release, compared to the=
=20
previous release of the same class.
