Noone can force you to package KDE stuff, that's obviously correct and don't 
see why you find the need to mention it.

You are not right about calling our behaviour irrational, there's lots of 
reasons for doing what we do, you don't agree with them, that's fine, but 
calling our behaviour irrational is not right.

We've had 1 problem in 6 releases, and it has been fixed quite promptly, noone 
was expecting the rollout to be painless, no?

This is a one time issue, noone will die because of it.

This is all a matter of point of view, you can see it not as one release but 
as 100 releases of 100 separate applications that happen at the same time. 
Each of them with it's own set of dependencies.
