I'd like to add: performance improvements (speed), to make KDE 2 *fast* (not 
usable) in <200MHz machines

Not sure, IMHO it would be better to release koffice independent. If it is 
stable and fulfeatured, then this will be as or even more important than a 
release of the desktop.
And I am also not sure whether it will be stable and feature complete until 
april 23rd. (kword, killustrator, don't know about krayon)

Do we really need to release that much ?
Let's decide later which package deserves a release.
