A whole distro is about making software work together. But see further down...

Wow. Who suggested that? That would make a mess indeed. I certainly did not ever \
suggest that. If you think so, pleas reread all my mails. I've suggested that every \
module maintainer sets his own release schedule. It's not uncoordinated at all. It's \
just that the freeze for kdelibs can happen on a different time and that the version \
number at the end can be whatever they like.

That's not what I suggested. I hope people can now stop twisting my words and reading \
things that are not there.

Isn't that what I suggest?
