I doubt collecting bugs will bring us any further. And while it's generally 
true, that new features bring in new bugs I would still think that we should
try to get ironed out as many as possible. To my counting, there are
~2300 _confirmed_ bugs known to KDE. If you can name two or three
features that may qualify for 3.2, I still say that closing 200 bugs (and be
they missing features reported) and beside that having the same functionality
than 3.1 is more worth it.

Beside that, I see a revised kdepim as the key feature for 3.2 and that has
basicly just started. An alpha release doesn't help keeping the developer's
focus on the application. If you do alpha releases now, you basicly only add
work in organizing bugs. I don't know about you, but for me this is still the
biggest part of my KDE work. 

How our changelogs look compared to other project's changelog can hardly
be our problem.

Greetings, Stephan
