I appreciate all of the hard work put in by the KDE team.  However, I have to
agree with previous posters who pointed out that major functionality should not
be removed in a regular (non-development) release.  There are many customers
using KDE in a business environment who expect feature stability.  They also
expect to perform regular updates to obtain bug fixes.

I was using KDE 4.3 on Fedora 11 when the latest KDE 4.4 distribution came
through a regular yum update.  To my surprise, network address books no longer
work reliably and the KMail auto-complete is broken.  I'm unable to easily roll
back to KDE 4.3, since the updates repository has already deleted those
packages.  It puts users in a very difficult situation when an upgrade is
one-way, but features that were heavily used are removed without warning.

Is there any way we can bring back the old address book as a parallel line
until the new one is fully implemented?  My time is limited, but I might be
able to provide some help with this if I can get some guidance.
