Isn't testing what a beta is for? I'd recommend to try to get as many 
people as possible to test the beta with libkpeople, then based on the 
feedback from the beta test we can decide whether to ship 0.7 with or 
without it by default.
People who install betas expect things to break here and there, so it 
wouldn't taint KTp's reputation if there were problems.
