mode = repeat;

what we need are more human testers to test things during the freeze periods. 
we could freeze forever and there'd still be regressions because too many 
people wait for the final release and then bitch about things afterwards. it 
would be nice if some of those complainers became testers.

there are a LOT of things in KDE that simply can't be regression tested 
automatically. this is because:

a) a lot of those items are GUI related and require a human sitting there to 
watch for things (unless you have a GUI regression tester suite available for 
use ;)

b) we lack the resources (see the discussion re: syncing where it's both a 
time and a hardware issue)
