[Kde-pim] KDEPIM Needs More TIme

[Markus]

How about releasing the new KAddressbook with SC 4.5 and ship KMail2 as an 
optional pre-release along with a stable KMail 1.x? (and the other PIM 
components depending on their stability)

May I add that KDE 1.1 did exactly the same thing? KDE 1.1 had the first 
attempt at a KMail2 ;-)
