I'll say it again: no more discussion next time. Changes will come from top to down. It's a wasted effort to invest energy with part of a community that has *no* intention of helping.
It's sad to hear that a small minority of ranters can push you enough to make you unconstructive. Be assured that *way* more people value your work and are really enthusiastic about KDE and the packages this team maintains in openSUSE than the minority that is complaining.
I've been doing project management in the open source space for at least 10 years now, and I know it's sometimes hard when you hear a small group of conservative community members denounce all the progress and innovation you are enabling and working on.
Don't give in and remember that while they are part of the community, and between the ranting you'll find a very few specific issues that need work, the vast majority of people who are actually satisfied and happy with your work is usually not speaking out - because they have nothing to complain about! :)

+1 I switched to plasma5 and KDE Frameworks 5 a few days ago, and so far I'm enjoying the experience. There were a few configuration issues to start with, but no show stoppers. I'm just a home user, and this is not a critical production machine. I wrote and maintain a small website for a club. For 5 years it was virtually a one man show - trying to get club members to write articles for the site was like pulling teeth. All very frustrating. Then, last year, the club went through a reorganisation, and suddenly it was noticed that our website could do with some improvements. Without consulting me, two members started a discussion with a local marketing company, and only on their third meeting did they invite me to be part of the process. I'm sure they acted with the best intentions, but after 5 years of empty praise and no contributions, I felt hurt by the apparent takeover. It took a couple of months before we reached an understanding, so I know how it feels to invest a lot of time and energy into a project, only to receive what seems like unconstructive criticism. Keep up the good work, please.
