I used to think that way, but the problem is that protocols change all 
the time now. Assuming a one per year KDE release and protocols which 
change every 6 months, probably a few months before the release all 
protocols wouldn't be working which is really not a situation you want 
to be in. It also depends whether you think you could squeeze some 
protocol reworks into minor point release, since you'll be feeding of 
those till the next major release.
