Looks fine to me.
Essentially it means that there will be another 9 months
before people will start to use 0.10; some
might be unhappy because they would love to use
the new features before (OTOH, this might give a couple of
additional testers ... ;-).
However, I think this is perfectly fine. The transition
of the KDE project from 3 to 4 is a big one and needs thorough
testing. Also the transition from digikam 0.9 to 0.10 is
a big step with many changes, in particular the database,
so this needs to be rock-solid
(not that I have any doubts that it will be, but testing
and fixing bugs just takes time).

Best, Arnd

P.S.: BTW, after going through a couple of hundreds images
yesterday:I don't know what I would do without the light-table,
this just rocks and makes it so much easier to choose
the best out dozens of similar shots ...
