As said, this is bad news. I appreciate your work, both by quantity and
quality. Thank you!

Said that, I think that maybe we should reconsider to get back in KDE when
things are stable again. If releasing ourselves is such a big deal we want
to have that done. We are all technical people and I think we all prefer to
center on our code and features more than on such management, but we don't
have to decide that now, of course.

Anyway, thanks for your dedication, I hope we'll find the proper place of
everyone in the kdevelop team.

Peace out! :D
