I stated this before, but this really concerns me.  When we get around
to beta/RC stage of KDE SC, people will be able to use a mostly stable
KDE SC, but they will be forced to use it with perhaps the pre-alpha
level versions of popular programs like amarok that will be found in
the playground repository.  This could very well be the case for any
KDE-based software that does not synchronize with KDE SC release
cycle.  I think people using the unstable repository need to have a
way to install stable versions of KDE software that is not part of KDE
SC, or there will be a very serious risk of making the Unstable
repository nearly much unusable in practice (since no remotely stable
version of key software will necessarily be available).
