Well, such a little fix can have immense positive consequences already
:)

Seriously, I strongly urge everyone to target at a new release *soon*.
No matter if it's called 2.0.1 or 2.1.

With the current rate of bug reports coming it's no great fun to be
listed in Maintainers or being subsribed to kde mailing lists (or hang
out on #kde). Unsubsribing or filtering to /dev/null is no option for me
as I *want* to improve the quality. If we wait until March or whatever
we'll have a ridiculous bad SNR of bug reports (thousands of
distribution users reporting 2.0 being fixed in the CVS for a long time
already).

It's probably not a secret if I admit that I'd been very happy if we
hadn't branched yet. IIRC Linus waits for x.x.1 releases first as well
:P

Harri.
