What are you talking about? In every single KDE (and openSUSE) release since 
the dawn of time, there was more than one virtual desktop by default and a 
visible pager in the panel giving easy access to the virtual desktop settings.

This will change for the first time in history (well, at least since SUSE 9.2 
I can personaly vouch) if 12.1 will stick with upstream defaults of SC 4.7.

The activity manager doesn't break anything for people who want to use virtual 
desktops. Defaulting to only one virtual desktop _does_.

That is why most people here are arguing to have the activity manager _and_ 
the pager in the panel by default.
