The KDE project are notorious for that, or at least in my book they

The KDE project clearly stated that the first few KDE releases were not
production ready and should be considered betas, at best. The problem was
caused by distros that went ahead and included KDE 4.1 nonetheless.
Probably because they liked the higher version number :(
The distros did worse than that - most of them just dropped KDE-4.1 on
the users and removed KDE-3. People were left with something that
couldn't possibly work.
What they should have done is marked KDE-4.1 as "optional/experimental"
