There's no contradiction. (It's not all as white and black as I might 
have painted it.)

Some users will upgrade to a new minor release of KDE (skipping a few 
minor releases or not; it doesn't really matter), others won't upgrade. 
But all want to use the latest version of KFoo (developed by a company 
outside of KDE CVS and requiring the current major version of KDE).

Or it's the other way around. Some users will upgrade to the newest 
stable minor release of KDE, but they want to continue using an older 
version of KFoo.

So all four situations are possible and have to work (as long as the 
same major version of KDE is involved): Using newest/older KFoo with 
newest/older KDE.

Ingo
