As long as the libraries are included in the KDEgraphics libs, that is what
most of the world will use, and what will most probably be seen as stable. 

Now I certainly would not like to get in your way developing software. All I
would like to see is that development releases be labeled as such until the
libraries they depend upon are released.

Normally, one would expect to do a little more jumping through hoops to pull a
development version of whatever software, and might have to get updated
libraries they depend upon. 

Stable stuff should just build out of the box with the latest released
libraries. Imagine if all software required you to go find some git or svn
repository and download libraries only after you have tried to compile the
"stable" version? You would become frustrated, no? 

With more than 4000 different pieces of software making up even a tiny
distrobution, imagine going to get development libraries for every bit of
software you package... it becomes a nightmare. 


Kind regards,
