* I still think the KDE 4.0.3 we shipped in F9 wasn't that bad. We fixed all
the showstoppers before F9 was released, and were also quick to ship updates
fixing more annoyances, including updates to later 4.0.x releases. Yes, I
used F9 with 4.0.x myself, one one machine.
Wow, you actually used F9 yourself (on one machine)? What an accomplishment.
* KDE 4.0 wasn't an update at all! It was what was shipped with a
NEW
release. We intentionally DID NOT update F8 to KDE 4.x. Not 4.0, not 4.1,
not ever. This kind of changes is exactly what we have releases for and why
rolling release models are not usable for production.
* Version updates, the very ones you complain about, brought that 4.0 up to
4.1 and later 4.2. I used F9 on my main machine from F8's EOL up to F9's
EOL. F9 with KDE 4.2 (and IMHO even 4.1) was rock solid, actually one of the
stablest Fedoras I used. (For example, F10 had issues with my hardware's
ALSA driver affecting PulseAudio, F11 with the graphics driver.)
Are you seriously trying to say that you updated your own machine to
Fedora 9 (KDE 4) 7 (!) months after it was rolled out? I have no
words.
Good work using everybody else as your test subjects: when they have
ironed out all the bugs, you finally update your own computer.
