I use stuff from kdenonbeta and I have no problem at all, that is not the 
point.

Order is required, working in chaos is uneffective.

> 2. Why the -1 in the name, if this is just a pool?
No. You did not read carefully the last 100+ thread about it :). kdextragear 
will contain only 15 packages each, if there are more packages needing moving 
to kdeextragear than there will be a -2 and -3 and so on.

Why not quit saying stupid things?

nonbeta is a mess and we will take care of it do not worry. Either ways nobeta 
contains apps that will be included in some future release of KDE and 
kdeextragear contains apps that have been removed from kde, because they do 
not fit the *desktop* term...
