/me 1000% agrees to the whole statement from above.
Some KDevelop-2.x releases can bridge the bigger time gap between a
ready-for-honest-daily-working version 2.0 and the current hacker
version 3.0.

Second, to work for 3.0 assumes that every decision is discussed and
voted before its realization. AND NOT that a main developer is
completely ignored, his work of months is completely removed without the
littlest trial of merging by people who haven't done any work on that
CVS branch. And that time merging was not the problem at all. AND not
that people who just were 2 weeks in the KDevelop project can do CVS
remove actions of a whole tree. AND not that the responsible people do
not say any little sorry about all of that. Concerning that I haven't
heard anything from Bernd Germann until today. All this happened in HEAD
once ago and I moved to the much more considerate KDEVELOP_1_4 group and
I will not move back before those basic things aint sure in any way.
Speaking of architecture Gideon is likely a step forward, speaking of a
team it's chaos hacking.
