We have some rules, one of them is that when we release a tarball, it must be 
able to be compiled against other released tarballs. I hope that's not hard to 
agree on.

So we need the KPeople tarball before KDE Applications 15.04 Beta 1 is out. 

Now KPeople wants to be a framework and thus is not on the same relase 
schedule as KDE Applications 15.04.

So to achieve the "tarballs have to compile against released tarballs" KPeople 
should have been part of the past release, not of Frameworks release that is 
after KDE Applications 15.04 Beta 1 is released.

Thus KPeople was late and we had to rush it a bit.

I'm sorry you're getting annoyed by people trying to make sure we collectively 
follow the few rules we have given ourselves.

If you don't agree with the rules you're more than welcome to propose 
improvements or modifications, maybe that way we will get more people caring 
and following them.

Best Regards,
