Well...In Arch I released the packages some hour before Tom's thread about calling off beta1. You guys decided to delay it only, so I kept the packages in the unstable repo to let our devs test them, but I didn't announce them. I guess the "Install KDE 4.9" wiki page on techbase did the rest. Anyway, if you want to blame someone I guess you should blame users not us. Cheers
