Oh, there was another one in the subject: "what's the point with KDE 4..."
Why did he not just ask something like: How can I make kontact / korganizer
show appointments that span whole days?
If you read the whole mail, it becomes obvious, he did not want an answer to
that question but just rant. So what do you expect?
Further your "Always" is most certainly wrong since only a single helping
answer in the archives would be enough. I bet there are more. So why did you
use "always", is that the kind of not exaggerating that helps a constructive
discussion?
All people ask for is to not exaggerate and keep reality in mind when talking
about KDE. That includes amongst other things that resource-wise it is simply
impossible for openSUSE to officially support KDE3 and KDE4 at the same time
any longer. KDE4 is ready for work in general, as many that use it on a daily
basis prove. There are some cases that KDE4 still lacks some bits KDE3 offers,
yet as this is true the other way around as well, it is not an argument for or
against any of those version.
KDE4 is the future and KDE3 a dead-end, the reasons have been mediated more
than once. The dead-end still exists and if I am not mistaken SLEx will still
support it for some more years. If people want to stay in that dead-end, fair
enough, yet it won't move forward and die in the end.

it seems that every discussion about the state of KDE4.x in opensuse always
ends in a flamewar. And
this is not the fault only of some people which are complaining about the
stability of KDE 4.x, i have
to blame also the other site. Always in the last time if someone sends a
question or a complain or a call
for help regarding KDE 4.x in any of the opensuse-lists, he probably will
get the first five answers
from some fanboys with no helpful message, just with a qestion how he could
dare to ask somewhat.
