This might be true for the libraries, although I doubt it. But it is
certainly not true for the applications. There is a lot of KDE 1 code in
the KDE 2 applications and many of them are part of the KDE 2 release.

I think version numbers should increment not decrement. I would hate to
tell people that they need version 1.0 of a new library called KDE2 to
run KOrganizer 2.0, because it's not true. It's nothing completly new.
It's a big step, but it's still KDE.

Please call it KDE 2.0
