Because it has not been deemed stable. With all due respect and release
deadlines not withstanding. Look if it ain't stable it ain't stable. For what
ever reason. Some minor feature or cross platform whatever.

No. It means the version for Linux should be marked as stable and development
should continue on the Windows port until it is stable. However. As usual,
with caution. Instability in one area could mean a deeper underlying proble
somewhere deep in the code that is difficult to dig out.
Should all pushes of KDE from updates-testing to updates be halted till KDE 4.5?
