KDE is being packaged and available from OBS for anybody who wants it. to include it in the distro is another thing that doesn't affect only KDE, but the distro as a whole.
indeed would make us look like a progressive bunch... like a distro who likes to offer latest stable version of KDE... and that is bad... isn't it?
"The Matter" is that the values and definitions of "stable" differ. And the defintions of processes to decide what is going into the next release and what just does not make the cut. It makes no sense to bark against a wall, no? So, get your asses in gear, you preachers of "latest stable is upstream stable" and help to get the process of desiging the next release right, but for this one (12.2) the train has left the station. For 12.2 is left to get it working, and right. No half working software. We've had that in the past and it hurt us much more than not having the latest upstream stable. My Idea for the next release would be removing the last (patchlevel) version-number info from any anouncements of KDE in OSS releases, as we do already with Gnome, e.g. for 12.1 it was "KDE 4.7.2 and Gnome 3.2" on the Box / Advert. Let's change that, and give KDE and Gnome parity in the outgoing info, for 12.1 that would have been "KDE 4.7 and Gnome 3.2". That way we could have switched from KDE 4.7.2 to KDE 4.7.3 with no outside trouble, just internal, or even included such patch-level step-up in the updates. But, as said before thats for the NEXT planned release, not the actual 12.2 -- that is already on the finishing line, no such changes allowed, now.
