I'll probably regret asking this, but what *would* make you happy?
TPTB have said that KDE4 is to be included as *an option*, not a replacement for KDE3 and not the default option. That doesn't seem to be
That's a statement which so far has not been categorically made by any SUSE personnel.
making you happy at all, so as an outsider, I'm not really clear as to what it is that you want other than to shout into the wind. I'm sure that's not the case, but you're not being particularly clear.
A clear cut pronouncement that KDE 3 will be the favored version of KDE in the 11.0 release, and every future release which occurs BEFORE KDE 4 is of production release quality.
So what sort of answer would make you happy?
The same one we've been trying to drag out of them for several months now -- that KDE 3 will not be abandoned, sidelined, or otherwise deprecated for a currently immature KDE 4. Why is it so difficult for anyone within SUSE to make such a simple, clear, direct statement? I want to move to KDE 4 as badly as anybody...but not at the cost of having to put up with loss of functionality and bugware. If I wanted that kind of headache, I would just use Windows.
Leave out all the invective, and just answer that simple question. One sentence, simply stated. Not a paragraph, not a novel-length missive. One sentence, that's all I ask. Be concise, be clear.
Well, all the squawking seems to have gotten the attention of at least one person. Now lets see if the SUSE personnel are equally observant.
Please.
