Maybe just the wording is a bit wrong. There will be always a first beta. Even
though maybe not in time, but it absolute makes no sense to release a Beta 2 as
first step ;)

I think the beta 1 is still waiting for a soprano release.

So for the future KDE should either create the official soprano releases as well
or it should require just the latest official one before. That means developers
of kdelibs should not depend on not yet released soprano releases ...
