At what point is there anything suggesting Fedora-KDE is to blame. All that
is said is that he got KDE 4 from Fedora-KDE. That is not the same thing.
What is really being reffered to is that KDE 4.0 was too early and they
should have made it a little more complete. It is a dig at KDE. Not
Fedora-KDE.

I got the update through Fedora and there was a mismatch from KDE 3 to KDE 4.0.

it's really hard to stay positive about the efforts of downstreams
when they wander around feeling they should be above reproach while
simultaneously hurting our (theirs and ours) users in a rush to be
more bad ass bleeding edge than any other cool dude distro in town

Fedora messed the update from 3.5 to 4.0 and Linus had to use Gnome .. big deal!

I agree with Aaron that Fedora acted irresponsibly by forcing the
switch to 4.0, and those kinds of decisions certainly hurt both Fedora
and KDE.

I don't think you can blame Linus for not wanting to use KDE 4.0 and
not having a choice to use KDE 3.x in Fedora when other distros like
Suse had managed this feat without any problems. Fedora is junk for
KDE
