: Yeah, I would expect the 4.x version to be a direct replacement for the 3.x version of anything.
At all stages of development?
No, but that's what I'd expect the released product to be.
KDE faced a similar situation to what the PulseAudio team is now facing. They had to make a .0 release to demonstrate that the APIs will remain stable, so that applications could be developed. That does not mean that the distros should immediately move to the new system, however.
More revisionist statements.
Go ahead, continue to attack me as if I'm the reason that Suse is abandoning the desktop that we both prefer.
KDE never did a thing to discourage distros from releasing 4.0, and in fact they went to lengths to push it into Opensuse.
Is that so? I only remember hearing "4.0 is not intended for end users". By the way, go through launchpad.net (Ubuntu bug tracker) and look at who's name opened the bug to have KDE 4.0 ditched in favor of 3.5.9 in Kubuntu 8.04. Did you file a similar bug for your distro?
Look at the names on the KDE team, and you find large numbers of those are opensuse people.
How have you tried communicating with them? Serious question.
KDE team pushed 4 into OpenSuse at least two point releases before it was ready. And Opensuse, gladly accepted it. Why?
Because you did not object?
When has your left hand ever rejected anything handed to it by your right hand?
You give me an idea for entertaining me daughters. They are going to laugh when daddy's left hand refuses to take what the right hand is giving her.
