I haven't exerienced any annoying bugs in 4.5 so far. And there are plenty of them in 4.4.5 - mainly plasma crashes f.e. when you drag&drop a quick lunch icon on itself instead of clicking it (very common situation). > But the main reason is that rules are rules: > freeze is in effect and there is no workaround > for the limits it imposes. Probably the freeze date was a wrong choice then. KDE 4.5 release schedule was well known after all. Does Debian not care about KDE users anymore? I just think that KDE 4.4.5 is not stable enough to be in stable branch of Debian. Version 4.5 is just a fix for this situation. And many other users agree with that.
