http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde&m=126021130600738&w=2 I don't know if the poster is kde developer
FULL STOP!
"I don't know if the poster is kde developer"
So why even mention it? Stop trolling.
but as I recall his remarks were not denied by any of the kde developers who posted to that thread.
FULL STOP!
Claims need to be refuted? That is both dumb and not common practice.
If I claim the sky is green with yellow polka-dots... if one one rises up to say: "Nope, it is varying shade of blue" then my claim has merit? Seriously? That is *not* how discourse works, and every adult knows that.
I assume you are referring to the passage: <quote> Unfortunately, they claimed 4.2 was ready for normal use, but I'd say nowhere near close, tho much improved, to the late alpha or early beta release stage. It should be mentioned that with the /claim/ of ready for normal use, kde pretty much dropped support for the previous version here as well, with bugs being closed as WONTFIX for kde3. 4.3 is a later beta. Most of the basic functionality is finally there, but there's still a lot everybody, users and developers alike, says is still broken. </quote>
Note the use of the pronoun "they"; this clearly refers to "KDE developers" as a set that does not include the poster.
And, BTW, "dropped support for the previous version here as well, with bugs being closed as WONTFIX" is *exactly* what a new major release means! I'm on to version Y of my project... bugs filed for X if my product will always get marked WONTFIX... upgrade to version X.
Thanks for writing this down, I fully agree and do not have to add anything regarding those claims made by Istvan Gabor. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
