Libraries developers without users can't be happy either. And that what 
happens if we do not stop to "clean up" the API now. There are zillions of 
deprecated and todo warnings when compiling KDE so I think finishing the 
*implementation* (adding missing parts, fixing bugs) is much more 
important than perfectionizing an API that will be obsolete a month after 
its final release because Qt 5 comes out.
