My viewpoint is "I have work to get done. My computer isn't someone else's hobby toy." and, whether it's Lennart or the KDE crew (and I say this as a KDE user), some upstreams keep cropping up in the "this got released to the public before it was ready" lists. As a developer, it's your responsibility to make sure that downstreams understand the release-readiness of the software you're putting out.
KDE x.0 and several releases following have a history of being unstable and feature poor, yet they get shipped and the devs use "Don't blame 4.0. 3.0 and 2.0 were the same way" as if it somehow justified their refusal to properly communicate that they're preview releases and nothing more. Lennart has a similar problem with communication and taking responsibility.
That said, given your response to both coder and me, It's clear that a discussion won't be productive, so I'm going to bow out here and let you have the last word. As far as I'm concerned, we've agreed to disagree.
