A whole distro is about making software work together. But see further down...

Wow. Who suggested that? That would make a mess indeed. I certainly did not ever suggest that. If you think so, pleas reread all my mails. I've suggested that every module maintainer sets his own release schedule. It's not uncoordinated at all. It's just that the freeze for kdelibs can happen on a different time and that the version number at the end can be whatever they like.

That's not what I suggested. I hope people can now stop twisting my words and reading things that are not there.

Isn't that what I suggest?
