I think you guys are looking at this from a different perspective then you 
should.  You are looking at it from the perspective of a accomplished 
kdelibs developer. One that knows how to use svn and all that.
This is about release early, release often.

Look, same as Qt has snapshots and so do many many open source projects, 
KDE should have a snapshot. Still without any guarantee and all that. But 
this will definitely make the threshhold a bit lower for people using 
kdelibs to switch to kde4 / qt4, give feedback etc.

If you have the believe that nobody in their right mind should actually be 
creating an app that uses kdelibs - trunk (and this snapshot), then you 
are right. We should not release.  But I assume thats not the case.

It would be really helpful to have a list of stuff that is still open for 
TODO and thus should be considered to change before the next snapshot(s).

I support a snapshot.
