while this is true to a big degree, there is simply no way to deny that
this "beta" cycle was so far *way* below anything we've seen before.

you know, it is KDE, not KE. people realize that "something" fundamental
is missing and simply don't pursue further.

playing "psychological tricks" with names won't do any good, just
destroy credibility.

we should still consider doing a gamma release at some point to
say "we really mean it now" without trying to redefine terminology on a
big scale.

and, fwiw, i also think that releasing the development platform before
the desktop would be silly. we have enough embarrassing cases already
where app devels simply work around lib bugs instead of fixing or even
reporting them - we don't need to force this situation additionally.
