I thought 2.0.x was only for critical/docu fixes?  Whichever one is
released just fix some of these: KWin (more more KWM features,
Mosfet's new default), Kicker (external taskbar), bugfixes and
docufixes from 2.0.*, Konqueror fixes, sane KControl layout, arts
fixes, and a selection of stuff that people wanted in 2.0.  It doesn't
have to be *everything*, just as long as it's a progressive release
with localized fixes so that a 4-week freeze and beta test is never
necessary.  Do people have enough discipline to pull this off?

Maybe 2.1 is not the best of version numbers though.

This only refers to kdebase (and to a lesser extent kdelibs though
both should probably be released at the same time) and
docu/translation hell is not really taken into account here.

-N.
