I'm not beign hard, just realistic-pessimistic. I try to use KDE 4 everyday 
and i can't and i can't fix all things because i'm not a super-genius with 
unlimited time.

So my suggestion is just to ignore we released kdelibs 4.0, make the BIC 
changes and release kdelibs 4.0.0 again.

And besides i would want to suggest that KDE 4.0 should not be released on 11 
december, but i won't do it and expect some crazy fixing goes along trunk and 
fixes everything for that date.
