Reindl is right and everyone here, regardless of his vested interest and his 
upcoming vigorous defense of the process knows it.

Its so weird... KDE3 was wonderful to work with it. Ahh but the code is all 
messy we can't just clean it up and move forward... We need to maintain 
developer interest so lets lose users and make the transisition from KDE 3 - 4 
as painful as possible. Oh cool KDE is now stable lets do it again. 
bwahahahahahaha.
