But nowhere close to being what KDE users expect.

What it actually says is:

"KDE 4.0 is the most recent evolution of KDE. It comes with many new
KDE technologies, but is less mature than the other desktops."

"KDE 3.5 is the previous generation of the K Desktop Environment. It
is mature and stable." [0]

Which I think is fairly clear.


No, its not CLEAR?

What is the current release?

Can't be 3.5 Its billed as the PREVIOUS generation. That says old hat to me.

Must be be KDE4. Its billed as the most RECENT.

Congratulations New User: You've just been suckered into installing
the not ready for
prime time version, the kid brother, the boy and not the man.

Be honest Benji. We BEGGED you guys on this list for WEEKS to come up
with a more honest warning. We BEGGED you not to include KDE4 in the
distro at all this time around, and when you insisted, we BEGGED you
to put it in the "OTHER" category.

You blew it off, just like you are blowing off objections now. You
bulled your way
ahead totally ignoring the community input.

Community? Oh, you mean those pesky users. Meh! what do they know?

If you want us to STFU and go away, why not just say so.
