[Reminder Daemon] [Bug 481024] The loss of user-defined snoozing for calendar and todo reminders is a massive functional regression and actually a hard show-stopper for my kontact usage

Very simple: OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 and SLE 15 SP6 are widespread current
distributions used by millions of users.
Both rely on the LTS versions of KDE/QT. This results in the following version
for Kontact and its components: 5.24.5 (23.08.5)
SLE 15 SP6 users have support for several years (5 AFAIR) and are potentially
stuck with this fundamentally unusable version …
Leap users for at least a year …

People like me (and my customers) use versioned distribution like Leap to have
a reliable, well tested, stable system. (I personally returned from Tumbleweed
to Leap because I was bitten by Tumbleweed several times – for that same reason
I don't want to use the OBS KDE factory repositories: just not yet mature and
well tested enough for my everyday work, and the dependency resolver has
complains …)

The quality assurance done by the distributions takes time and effort – with
less than a year slack OpenSUSE is relatively quick, IMHO …

Either the KDE community is interesting in keeping a user base amongst the
Linux distribution users – or not.

If yes, port bug fixes back to the LTS versions and thrive.

If no, feel free to wither further.

I personally are very sick of this kind of discussion, of ill-advised
deprecations and functional regressions and the inherent lack of respect thus
expressed against the KDE user base  – after more than a quarter of a century I
will cease to support, recommend and use KDE.
