Yeah, I really dislike calling it 4.0 then; 4.0 implies a contract with
application developers that the ABI is stable and will continue to be
supported throughout that major version number series.

"We want applications to start using our libraries!  Although...  We'll
break them between now and 6 months from now when the *real* KDE4 comes
out."
