because people deal with software by version number instead of cutesy
name. and if the standard is to be that kde shall search for numbers
that no one is currently using or planning ever to use, then there's
big trouble. what gnome calls gnome (maybe they should try to refer
to it more as the "GNUnstable" release) has nothing to do with kde,
and if kde.org is going to base what it does on what the gnomes might
say, there's big trouble ahead -- for instance, what if the gnomes
get upset that kde works more reliably than gnome does?
