Quite interesting how you try to destroy our reputation in #akonadi on
IRC freenode:

      #akonadi

     [08:55] <annew> I'm worried about the 4.5 kdepim coming to fedora
     [08:56] <annew> they are going to put it into updates-testing
without any warning that it is a technical preview
     [08:56] <annew> and have even said on the ML that it isn't a
technical preview, but a beta
     [08:56] <annew> and if you don't like it, complain to kde,not us.
     [08:56] <-- till has left this server (Quit: Leaving.).
     [08:57] <annew> their attitude is very worrying
     [08:57] <annew> it feels as though we are heading for another 4.0 situation
     [08:58] <annew> I feel strongly that people should be given the
information to make their own judgement as to whether to test it

You better stop telling that kind of BS. If you're not able to
understand what you read maybe you have to find a different business.
Don't fuck everybody up, really. Stop telling others false information
as you obviously like to do.
