Not really. It only means we're giving some time for application developers \
to make progress while kdelibs is changing. But we're not yet approaching \
API stability imho, if we want to drop  qt3support in kio's API (it's \
before 4.0 or never) then we need someone to rewrite most of the file \
dialog... Plus all the things we wanted to do for 4.0 like switching to the \
xdg shared-mime standard (which has api implications) etc.

No change?

If you need input from everyone, then this is a topic for kde-core-devel, \
not for release-team. release-team is only the internal organization of the \
release team, isn't it?

PS: thanks for getting this ball rolling, much appreciated.
