Yes, the problem are are big packages. I wonder when reading the comments
to 2.1 that there are so many 2.0->2.1 upgraders - really, there is a life
beyond the CVS ;-)

But the feature Waldo scheduled for 2.2 are a _must_have_ for something
called "enterprise ready". So what about single package-release for e.g.
kmail 2.1.2
and separate koffice 2.1 "version counting" (<- is this English :-> )
