11.4 is a special case, mainly because of:
* llunak leaving and work permit issues for his replacement * upstream kde git migration complicating the branch diffs short term
*Will had to spend time on a zypper packagekit issue which was not really KDE's fault and reported months ago. Where was the release team to assign resources to this issue? *Will has to spend time on a glibc/ld.so (certainly not KDE) issue. s.a. So there are reasons to delay the release and even if not, at least not put-up hurdles to release an official update to get KDE 4.6.1 into 11.4. Or, even easier, forget about claiming that the KDE version released with 11.4 is the most stable for 11.4 and recommend to use KR46.
Besides I'm not sure the timing is actually bad for 11.4. For 11.3 we shipped 4.4.4 - theoretically it should have been über-polished, cuz we had almost 6 months from 4.4.0 release to polish and clean it for 11.3 - but in reality most people in the openSUSE KDE-community didn't give a crap about 4.4 at that point and had already moved on to newer and buggier things.
I think comparing KDE 4.4.no-matter-what-minor-release with 4.6 is not valid. And thing about KDE 4.4.4 was that it was buggier than the 4.5.0 release and thus people moved on. It's not like people move on because they want to punish themselves but because they are unhappy with the official release.
