I don't think Gunny's intentions was to undervalue the work of the 
Kubuntu team who have done an amazing job. I think we can all agree on 
that. But at the same time I think we are many who simply wish that 
there had been enough time in the hoary release plan to allow in a 
3.4.1 of KDE - at least that's all *I'm* saying.

I was so badly hoping for 3.4.0 to be as stable as 3.3.2 has been for 
me, but this is far from the case. But it's not really unusual 
for .0-releases of KDE to be less stable overall than the release prior 
to that, and there's not really much we can do about that. The release 
schedule for Hoary was already set, and I'm just really, really glad 
that the Kubuntu devs were capable of joining Ubuntu already with Hoary 
(they've been busy for sure).

Exactly! Now let's help make Breezy the best it can possible be.
