This should be softened to recommend to not release non development
versions. Of course developers are encouraged to contribute KDE-2.0
compliant developer versions. (Bazzar Style)

I think that unfreezing the feature freeze of kdelibs should be more
midly. This implies that after the release of 1.89 we should consider to
try to not add too many new features and concepts. (There will be another
KDE after KDE-2.0)

In general a lot of these topics are to be discussed at the KDE-II Meeting
in Nuremberg.
