Right ... hmhm.

It's true of course that pushing the beta out breaks the
feedback cycle for KOrganizer needed for a good final re-
lease if the final's release date were to stay the same.

But delaying the beta likely also means delaying the re-
lease date. If we delay the release date, we might as well
just release beta 1 as scheduled and rather add a third
beta to the schedule. Then the other apps would have a
longer beta feedback cycle rather than waiting on KOrga-
nizer to release beta 1, and KOrganizer, assuming it
works again by beta 2 of 3, would have one like it would
have had if it had worked in beta 1.

Basically, keeping everything on the established beta
schedule and simply extending the beta cycle seems like
a better opportunity for 4.4's quality than delaying the
whole beta cycle over KOrganizer, no?

Perhaps KOrganizer could be disabled from build for beta
1, and then switched back on for beta 2 (out of a propo-
sed 3)?
