KDE teht shortly before the publication of the truly long-awaited version 4 - In Commit-Digest , the change log of KDE, KDE developer warns Stephan Binner explicitly before the change of normal KDE 3.5 to KDE 4 users
He shall make it clear that it is KDE 4.0 is still not expecting the finished product "KDE 4" trade. Specifically, he warns elected before the procedure, the has Kubuntu: KDE 4.0
is only expected to be used by early adopters, not every KDE 3.5 user (and IMHO KDE 4.0 should not be pushed onto other user types like planned for Kubuntu ShipIt (which by the way is said to have only 6 months support for its packages)).Its very prominent and officially voiced opinion, which also includes several important additional points, such as first port to the success of individual components on Windows, as a result of strong criticism of several KDE developers and users in KDE 4.0, more of a Beta release, see the still not fit for production use. Accordingly, were officially designated as a beta version was also more alpha versions. - What if in fact the account, as that KDE 4 is stable in its Beta version in no way was.
Aaron Seigo , Chairman of KDE eV and Lead developer of plasma, has recently spoken on this topic ( "Why Betas, brother " ) and promoted the understanding of the Procedure of KDE. Open-source publications need to be used so that the development was progressing. Open-source functioning just this way. - His courting of understanding does not invalidate the incompleteness of the software at that stage.
When Aaron likes to believe - and accepted the release of KDE as a necessary measure, so this is justified but still not the policy of Kubuntu. Not only that, an unfinished test balloon is released to normal users, on the date eheseten under Ubuntu to "just works" could be expected - Kubuntu users will also be given the opportunity to put a very stable LTS system. An issue that we seek in vain in this way in other distributions.
I myself am disappointed by their decisions greatly.
