I think you don't undestand what is KDE
KDE is a global opensource community, involving developers, artists,
translators, packagers, distros shipping the project's WorkSpaces, so I am
kde, YOU are KDE and Albert is KDE.
If you don't understand that KDE is more than a bunch of developers creating a
set of woskspaces and applications, then everything will fail.

And of course i expect this too, the opensource community acts as a whole, a
developer codes, a packager test the tarballs and finds issues and prepares the
packages for the distro X and finally the users test the packages and reports
bug upsgream.

He is KDE upstream, you are kde downstream, i live in the middle of both
worlds. He, you, me , we are KDE.

Obviously there's none perfect QA procedure and every project knows how
comlicated is sometimes to get hands helping
Why we don't join efforts?
