I think it's a bad idea to name .0 a beta version (and even beta is still too much).
You're too late for this discussion. The decision to release 4.0 in a questionable state has been discussed endlessly for the last few months on blogs, podcasts, irc.. whatever. I don't understand how you can have missed it, if you're the least bit interested in KDE. Now that it's released it's too late to do anything about it, and noone wants to discuss this topic anymore, it's time to look ahead. Also you should realize that most of the behind the scenes stuff is of release quality, so are many of the apps. What's alpha/beta quality is mostly just plasma (the desktop shell) and some apps. Besides it's not crucial what KDE releases per se, since >95% of users get their KDE from distributors who probably have the knowledge to decide which versions are ready for their users. Everybody who's not living under a rock, should be well aware that 4.0 is only of tech preview quality. Who cares about the numbers. 4.1 (scheduled for July) is expected to be the "feature complete" release usable by Aunt Tillie and Joe Sixpack. Secondly, when to release 4.0 is not decided by the openSUSE KDE-team, your gripe is with the KDE release team upstream - there might be some duplicate people, but this is still not the place to debate it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
