One reason was, that the devs (at least the ones at SUSE are backporting some of the features KDE4.1.3 was lacking.
And I realize that. But, it seems like a lot of work to backport something when we could havejust integrated KDE 4.2 Beta, delayed the release back to an 8 month schedule(which shoudl have given time for 4.2 to stabilize), and then just have 4.2. Since I'm not a developer, I don't know how or why things are done or decided upon.
No. if ypu want stability, then a beta version isn't acceptable.
Not to butt in, but the "beta" moniker as such means nothing these days. Some software that are stable are still called beta for a long, long time. Some software that are beta or pre-beta quality are called stable (KDE 4.0.0, KOffice, ...). So, if one goes for stability, one evaluates the stability of the software independent of what labels are attached. Of course, that would mean software such as KDE 4.0 would never get into a distribution...
