And it is also no race. I decided to skip on KF 6.7.0 from experimental as according to what I read on IRC #debian-qt-kde it was supposed to go to unstable. That is also why I did not write anything about it here so far. I bet it will work just fine, but as KF 6.6 is in unstable already and works well enough for me I decided to just wait for the upload to unstable. I will then receive things in the order the Qt/KDE team decides upon, whether it will be Plasma 6.2 or KF 6.7 first. Of course you can install KF 6.7 from experimental as usual on your own risk. As written, I bet it will work just fine so it may likely only be a matter of personal preference on whether to install it just yet or wait. The main purpose of testing/unstable/experimental is to prepare the next stable. Additional it provides kind of a rolling distribution for more adventurous users. However that is not its main purpose. So as far as I understand it, the work of the Qt/KDE team is not primarily targeted at providing us testing/unstable/experimental users the latest and probably greatest within a minute after release. But it is mainly aimed at making Plasma 6.whatever, KDE Gear 24.whatever and KF 6.whatever a good experience in Debian 13 aka Trixie. That means sometimes a decision is made to do things in a way that requires more effort than to "simply" update the packaging, but is better suited and better supportable in the long run. I bet many more users are using Plasma on stable than on unstable/testing or even partly experimental. The Qt/KDE team can use help regarding triaging old and new bugs, help with testing all aspects of Plasma and with testing KDE Gear and other KDE apps and of course also with packaging.
