As Shakespeare would say, "Much ado about nothing."

I think everyone is getting their panties in a wad over something that
will blow over in the very near future. OK, so they screwed the pooch
short term. Long term I think things will work out fine.

I can't say I agree with some of the decisions made by the powers that
be either. BUT, I don't plan on running off like a spoiled brat at the
first thing that happens. I will just sit with 7.10 for a while and let
them work out some of the kinks. 7.10 is stable and does what I want
with a minimum of fuss and bother. I don't necessarily need "bleeding
edge" stuff. A couple updates down the road and I'll bump up.

Besides,if you jump ship and run to another distro what are you REALLY
changing? Everyone is jumping on KDE4. It's the same KDE so you haven't
done anything. Or do you plan on jumping off the KDE bandwagon to?

IMHO, everyone should just calm down. Let things get sorted.
