That's one of the Linux world's best known jokes. Regardless of what they
were officially called, 4.0/4.1 were pre-alpha/alpha; 4.2/4.3 were
alpha/beta; and 4.4 seems to be RC or close thereto.

Oh how many machines, at what CPU speeds, with how much RAM?

There are so many KDE3 features missing from even KDE 4.4 that it can hardly
be considered a replacement for KDE4 no matter the assigned version number,
and KDE 4 was certainly even less mature in 11.2's 4.3. Maybe in 4.5 or 4.6
it might reach feature parity, if not stability. Maybe.
