it seems that every discussion about the state of KDE4.x in opensuse always ends in a flamewar. And this is not the fault only of some people which are complaining about the stability of KDE 4.x, i have to blame also the other site. Always in the last time if someone sends a question or a complain or a call for help regarding KDE 4.x in any of the opensuse-lists, he probably will get the first five answers from some fanboys with no helpful message, just with a qestion how he could dare to ask somewhat.
Pick the question of mail that started this discussion and should have got a sensible answer: "now what is more important? free music or a working calendar?" Oh, there was another one in the subject: "what's the point with KDE 4..." Why did he not just ask something like: How can I make kontact / korganizer show appointments that span whole days? If you read the whole mail, it becomes obvious, he did not want an answer to that question but just rant. So what do you expect? Further your "Always" is most certainly wrong since only a single helping answer in the archives would be enough. I bet there are more. So why did you use "always", is that the kind of not exaggerating that helps a constructive discussion? All people ask for is to not exaggerate and keep reality in mind when talking about KDE. That includes amongst other things that resource-wise it is simply impossible for openSUSE to officially support KDE3 and KDE4 at the same time any longer. KDE4 is ready for work in general, as many that use it on a daily basis prove. There are some cases that KDE4 still lacks some bits KDE3 offers, yet as this is true the other way around as well, it is not an argument for or against any of those version. KDE4 is the future and KDE3 a dead-end, the reasons have been mediated more than once. The dead-end still exists and if I am not mistaken SLEx will still support it for some more years. If people want to stay in that dead-end, fair enough, yet it won't move forward and die in the end.
