I have nothing against July for KDE 4.1

But i don't see the need to have a fix "6 months release schedule", and so i 
would not plan KDE 4.2 yet.
I think that after each versions we should reconsider the date of the next 
release. Considering

- Distribution need and release date
- Releases of Qt and others depedences
- Planed features.
- Feedback from the previous and the current version.
- ....

So basically i propose to not schedule KDE 4.2 yet.

Why would we or distro want that?
It's a fact that x.y.0 releases have more bugs. So the default installed 
system should probably better if z>=1


Also, we don't need to aling on distro. Distro should align on us if they 
want. :-)
