Given the number of people monitoring the kde lists any attempt to
"hide" any release would be rather senseless IMO. I agree with clearly
marking it as unstable, incomplete, for developers only etc. but any
effort to play it down against 1.x won't work. There *is* a lot of hype
about 2.0 but the more we hold it back the fewer programmers will have
joined finishing it and the more people will be disappointed when it
will be finally released.

Just my 2 cents.
