Maybe this is a cost we have to pay therefor that KDE is so popular today, 
i.e. it is used by many people who are not part of the community and don't 
understand the process how it is created.

They buy the newest distro, install it, something doesn't work (not at all or 
not as they expect), and often all they do is to say "damn, why doesn't this 
crap work, how can they be so stupid to create such bugs ? hopefully they 
will have finally fixed it in the next version".
Contacting the developers directly is for many of them a completely far-away 
idea. (Did you ever email MS if win crashed ?)

I think we'll have to live with this.
