So b.k.o is theoretically the ideal tool but users and developers are 
confused/inhibited from using it (probably because with the exception of one 
or two saintly people we're all in denial about the number of KDE 3 bugs it 
contains).

My hunch is that this is because it's never clear which applications' versions 
correspond to a given prerelease of KDE 4.  Most (IMO) apps have their own 
versioning scheme.  As well as creating confusion, this prevents release-team 
from querying for 'all the bugs in 4.0rc42'.

I propose that all apps in the KDE 4 release cycle drop their custom version 
strings and use $KDE_VERSION instead.  What am I missing that prevents us 
from doing so?
