That is only true for day one after a new snapshot. Please try to see it more 
realistic. A two week schedule does not mean you have to wait two weeks until 
you can make changes!

Fixing broken KDevelop and kdelibs before I can work on Quanta slows down my 
development! I am one chain link deeper as you and it really hurts me.
I do not want to play cat and mouse all the time! The idea of the snapshot is 
to minimize this and I think this idea is good.
