So far so good. If users postpone it, that's entirely their 
responsibility.

That's not so good, though, and where we really disagree. Thanks for the 
straight answer, though. 

In my book, it's not acceptable to not do one's job properly and by that  
force others to do more. You basically told me the same when I suggested 
likewise measures against mips. :-)

The only difference being that we supported KDE 3.5.5 for a long time and 
gave mips months to get up to speed again.

I absolutely agree. This, IMO, is such a case, though.
