Good point. Though, those do not need to be bugfix-only releases then. But ok.

Well, it might be my pessimism, but I don't want us to repeat the history with 
this one. Is Plasma 5 really ready for a day-to-day replacement of 4.x for an 
average user? Are the distributions up to the task this time?

" trust our release" is what we did before, and it backfired. Hugely.

Cheerio,
Ivan
