it's even easy to have new kde, gnome, openoffice... whatever available on cd through build service for people needing a cd, not even necessary to mirror these cd's (they are usefull, but only for a small part of our users)
Not necessarily. For instance - no new GNOME was available for 11.0, even though some members of the GNOME team tried to package it for 11.0. [0] Whether that will hold true for 11.2 or not, I don't know.
As for what others do - unless the release schedules change, Ubuntu & Fedora will release in October, with the most recent GNOME and presumably the KDE 4.3 release.
I really wish the GNOME & KDE folks would sync their schedules up...
Best,
