Who judges the status of the code. Why are there so many users that can do 
their daily work with this all so broken KDE release? Version numbers do not 
mean anything, you can as well give each KDE release an animal's name and get 
rid of the numbering, it would not change anything. The code created and fixed 
within six months needs to be released. Otherwise you cannot supply fixes for 
application x just because there is still a bug in application y. What you 
want is the moon on a stick and that won't happen.

Was it not you who claimed that version numbers are increasing too fast? Now 
kdepim takes a more conservative way and it's wrong again?

If you and even more so your company uses KDE, you are part of the KDe project 
and thus you and whatever company you were talking about should start 
contributing now in those areas where you see most need.

Really? So why is KDE growing and not dying since KDE 4.0 was released? 
Criticising without contributing is more destructive IMHO.
