Yes. Another reason not to delay KDE 2.2 is that KOffice 1.1 will
depend on it. Sure, we could also delay KOffice (and it would definitely
profit from a few weeks more of fixing), but don't forget that the
users of stable KDE systems out there still are using KOffice 1.0.

KWord 1.1 e.g. might not be "bug free" nor feature complete, but it's a
*lot* better than the one in KOffice 1.0.

Ciao,
