No, I'm suggesting the apps should switch to 14.xy naming now, I'm also not 
suggesting a wholesale move to frameworks, btu since noone seems to read kde-
devel (or they don't care) my email with that proposal got like 2 answers.

*If* we go for date naming we need to drop the "20" (I think the same for 
Plasma but I'm not going to argue with the Plasma guys over their naming), 
since basically it gives no extra info (we'll all be mostly dead by 2100) and 
makes it much harder to pronounce:

two thousand forteen dot nine
vs
forteen dot nine

Cheers,
