Albert, 

luckily noone can force me to package KDE stuff, and I'm already frustrated 
enough about irrational upstream behaviour that I'll likely go on an 
indefinite break in this regard (I don't think I'm the only one). 

* Remember how everyone thought that full-freezing kdelibs master was a great 
idea?

* I had the fun of asking at the big KDE frameworks talk at FOSDEM 2013 how 
you intend to specify inter-library version dependencies, after losing release 
synchronization. The only response from the full assembly of KDE programmers 
was "it's not a problem, so we don't have to care". Just listening on the 
mailing lists, now we have the problem. 

I still claim that 

a) having a version number 14.12 follow on 4.12.x is an exceptionally bad and 
confusing idea (hi Eric! & remember your own typo?), and that 

b) deliberately combining kf-5 apps with kde4-apps within one release is rude 
towards packagers at least.

However, your definition of "the community" does obviously not agree with 
mine, and so only time will tell, once more.

Have fun.
Andreas
