Keeping it barely on topic (sense this isn't kde-core) I personally don't 
think that KDE 4.0 needs to have every feature.  The major wait for 4.0 is 
libraries, if the libraries get stable sooner then I don't see why we can't 
have a release much sooner.  Every app and desktop feature doesn't have to be 
done.  We can wait and do the major upgrade of a big application for 4.1 (and 
4.2, 4.3...) if it wasn't ready to go in for 4.0.
