I beg to differ. I find this behaviour very handy to quickly organize 
windows.
I don't know of any other simpler way to achieve tiling of windows.

And I don't quite see the problem with it. It is triggered only when the 
mouse pointer (and not just the window edges) touches the screen edges.
And there's already snap-to-screen-edge feature for those who want that.

If you are having problem of accidental maximize when dragging a window 
by the title bar to the screen's top edge, you can consider Alt+Drag on the
window area instead.

And finally, in true KDE spirit, one can always disable this.
