I just read a very good novel where all such talk about "Software Collection" or "Platform" was aptly called "commercial bulshytt". I think many of us, including your "only-users", would appreciate it if you all there upstream would just stick to KDE, because that is what everyone uses.

Sure, we'll end up with a lot of projects using and enhancing kdelibs (or whatever becomes of that), but there will be no coherence anymore. > We can set a preferred release day twice a year, which every module can > work to if they like. > We can still package and release them if you like, that's independent of > the schedules. That both makes no sense. Suggestion 1 fails completely with the "if they like" part, since we all know already how much pain the "out of sync kdepim" caused. Suggestion 2 fails with the "independent of the schedules" part, because you can't release somthing that is not stabilized and tested. Please try to get some sense back...
