I too think what the KDE team is doing is great but that is not to say
it could not be done better. When it comes to any problems with KDE4,
for me it is because of distros adopting the work before it is ready
to work in a stable full featured way.

I still think that KDE4 might be ready for Kubuntu by the time a new
stable release is due out.

For the Kubuntu Devs to enter into an agreement to give us a stable
KDE system and then back out is wrong, they broke their word to the
users. 8.10 should have been a stable KDE3 system and then they might
have thought about switching to KDE4. None of this is a fault of the
KDE dev team!! Innovation has a place and that place is not in the
slot of an expected and planed stable release.
