No, I don't, but this is shows clearly how bad is to do a time based 
release for a *new* product. Sure, we have to draw a line and say this 
is the release time, because otherwise we will never stop adding new 
features. Yet, if the release time is close and there are clear signs 
that the quality for the product is not up to our expectations, there 
shouldn't be any reason (like now the party) that will force us to 
release something broken.
 Of course, like others, I still hope KDE 4.0 will be in a good enough 
shape at that time, but if not, I'd rather not release it before the 
party. You can still celebrate the "upcoming KDE 4.0" release there. ;)
