I agree. Our dot article is also intentionally delayed so that 4.8 can be
on top for a while (I was informed) and media do not really pick our
announcement up. The question is if we still intend to be part of KDE SC
itself (ie. following SC release cycle etc). Then we'd be in that
announcement anyway.

This release schedule also plays nicely with distro releases. Now they have
lots of time to package us and include in the main repos (as most of them
are released in April/May and October/November). Should we release after
their release, we'd be available only in user repos (which is still better
than nothing).
