Please let me know how the policy of not releasing a product until it is
perfect works out for Perl 6... if you ever hear of Perl again that is.
Although we appreciate the constructive advice telling us to push back a
release is not helpful. If you choose to use KDE 4 once we have implemented
everything you require, great. But until then you can still use KDE 3 or
whatever other desktop you prefer. Those already using KDE 4 deserve the much
better release that will be 4.1.
