The application is well tested and works fine. I even talked to the
dev about how secure the data will be in the released version, and he
gave me his assurances.

Then why are you using KDE? Did you not notice all the features that
disappeared when:
KDE 3 -> KDE 4
Koffice 1 -> Koffice 2
Amarok 1 -> Amarok 2
Kdevelop 3 -> Kdevelop 4

The dropping of features is expected between KDE releases. Note that
one cannot include the old Kaddressbook in KDE SC 4.4 so Kaddressbook
users cannot upgrade to that version. Which means that they cannot
upgrade to Kubuntu 10.04 LTS.
