It misses Gutsy by about two months (assuming that the Feature Freeze is 
applying here). So I don't really see a point in pointing this out -- 3.5.8 
might "miss" other distro's releases as well (prominently OpenSuse 10.3, I 
suppose), we could have released it earlier, but there was no pressing reason 
to do so. For the 3.x series we're in maintenance mode, and only flushing out 
bugfixes that went into the codebase every so often, and that time span is 
increasing. We do understand that it's nice to keep releasing the stable 
version, but we really need to focus on getting KDE 4.0 release ready. 
Working too much on the 3.5 branch steals focus there.

Cheers,
