And to be fair to us, our release information stated that the 2.0
release was for early adopters/advanced users/testers. Most distros took
the hint and waited until 2.1 to make Amarok 2 the default. (The *why*
of why we released 2.0 instead of staying pre-2.0 longer has been
covered extensively on this list, so search the archives if you are
interested.)
