Regarding the KDE3 inclusion in 8.0, I can't figure it out at all. KDE3 is still in testing, and judging by the number of bugs being discussed on kde-devel and kde-core-devel it's just not ready. I haven't even bothered getting a CVS snapshot to test as yet because lots of people are still reporting what appear to me to be significant problems. Breakages in Kmail, kicker's layout and konqueror's proxy handling don't sound like too much fun.
Yeah, this worries me. If SuSE just needs to crank out a new release for the revenue, I wish they would just include stable versions. I would be happy to pay to an 8.0 release with KDE 2.2.2 since there have been many upgrades and bug fixes made to other packages since 7.3 came out (evolution, apache, games, etc.). They could include KDE3 as an option and not make it the default desktop. I have purchased every SuSE box release since 6.1 and I don't want them to to become driven by marketing instead of solid technology, which is why I buy linux. I hope we are worried about nothing.
