Which usually means _never_ release.

I personally think that:

1) The direction Andreas took (to remove all unfinished/not working stuff) is 
the only right way to do the release

2) We need to release now. KDevelop is a big project, you will always want to 
"finish" things here and there. 1 month of delay won't change anything in this 
respect

3) We need to face the fact, 4.0 release will suck anyway. It won't be feature 
complete and it won't work well. Remember, 3.0 wasn't that good either. It's 
3.1 release which was really good.

4) To stabilize, let's continue to throw out and disable features. That's not 
as bad as you, guys think. Commercial software development has taught me that 
people can live without surprising amount of features, just as long as your 
app doesn't crash ;)


So, my proposal is:
- release 4.0 with KDE 4.4
- ask for an exemption and get source formatter back to 4.0.1 (not 4.1!) if 
it's ready
