How can I put it nicely. If there are no resources/maintainer for getting zypper+packagekit ready in time then release/project-management failed. Actually the fact that the only one remaining in the KDE-team now also has to do work on the basesystem i.e. non-KDE-stuff already shows that it has done so.
So, now that you know who to blame - what are we going with it? I can't see how you're trying to help.
Should we not ask those that messed-up what they are going to do to straighten things out?
If they cannot think of anything, here is something that demands only passiveness: do not put-up any hurdles for a KDE 4.6.1 update via the official channels – or to phrase it in a more active way, give green light for such an update if the KDE-community wants it.
And one might ask them as well what they are going to improve for the next release.
"We hired somebody new for KDE" can only be part of the solution since this does still not provide any maintainers for zypp/packagekit etc., i.e. non-KDE stuff.
Oh boy. It happens all the time in open source projects that contributors leave the project. I don't think Novell ever said it will keep any limit - and if you're not satisfied with openSUSE having a 8 month release schedule (which it has for the 2nd time now - so it's time to throw it away), opensuse-project is the list to discuss this I would think. The release team's job is only to make sure we can release. That this 8 month schedule won't bring the perfect GNOME and KDE was clear when we decided to go there - and we here is openSUSE and not Novell. It shouldn't matter how many full time developers Novell has for a given topic if there are 30 part time developers aiming at the same goal. And the "official channels" for openSUSE updates are also openSUSE maintained, the maintenance team is always open for help. But someone has to do the updates.
