A while back a kde update caused kmail to stop working on imap accounts
and I dont use the DE in Fedora anymore because I wanted to avoid such
problems with big updates and while I don't have the bz number for that
problem handy it would easy enough to find if you are interested and
every big push has repeatedly brought out similar problems

This is seriously petty and I would point out that messing around with
the buildroot as part of the big kde update is what caused the problem
in the first place and yes I was told that future announcement would add
more clarity and the sig would avoid buildroot overrides for future updates

You seem to assume that other people dont talk to Fedora users and that
is wrong and I still differ from your position
