To a degree, yes.  This reminds me of a common Microsoft tactic used *by* 
Office:  Every couple years they release a new Office with a new UI 
standard, and then every third party app released on a different timeline 
suddenly is out of date.

Third party KDE apps, by always being behind the kdelibs improvements 
because of their different cycles, will always be old and not quite be the 
same as in-release KDE apps. And KOffice wasn't even available for the 
earliest KDE 3 adopters, was it?
