No that's not a good solution. It was acceptable for KDE4.0 because the 
component which wasn't fully complete was the desktop shell, a lot of 
applications were (more) ready, but releasing KDE4.0 without the desktop 
shell would be like eating a chicken-based meal without chicken.

If by 1.5.9 you mean 1.6.3, then yes. That's the solution, except that there 
is no need to release 1.6.3 applications. What we have to make sure is that 
we can install and run KPresenter, KSpread and KChart from 2.0 alongside the 
other applications from 1.6.
