The same will happen if we don't release snapshots, just then the titles will 
be "KDE 4 is vaporware...".

I think doing snapshots is a good idea, already now you can at least get some 
hints from it how the kdelibs evolve. It's far better to do some snapshots to 
have external app devs looking at them instead of dumping some Alpha out in a 
year with a complete new API......
