Whatever the name of the prerelease, we should divert the attention from it. I
mean, KDE2.0 has some aura around it, and it would be very bad to see a devel
version spread on the net and on CDs just because it contains glimpses of
what KDE2.0 could/will be...

IMHO, releasing a freezed snapshot at the same time of kde 1.2, but only on kde
lists, goes in this direction. And with QT styles, and theme manager, the new
apps and etc., the earlier the artists get to KDE2.0 the better.

Cheers,
