Please don't delay 2.2. We should stick to our release plan. When the beta is 
out, we still have a month for fixing bugs. If this shouldn"t be enough and 
after this month of all developers only working on bug fixes and not adding 
new features KDE is still not stable enough, we can still decide to release a 
second beta instead of the final 2.2.

To delay the release now would only lead to people adding more last minute 
features and introducing new potential bugs. The sooner we get 2.2 out the 
sooner we can start working on better solutions, which require major changes 
of the code. I don't think that just before a release is a good time to 
cleanup code. We should just get KDE as stable as possible and do it "the 
right way", when we have more time and no pressing release date.
