Excuse me.... This last part is a bit of troll. But I will repsond. No.. I'm 
not asking for an arbitrary decision. You are asking for one that breaks with 
what has been typical for kde-redhat for years. kde-redhat is not a qa 
environement for kde. It is a qa environment for up and coming releases of kde 
in (previously) redhat / (now) fedora. We are currently testing 4.5 as RC1 not 
4.5.1 (vaporware). To make the correction that you've pointed out. kdepim 4.5 
(I wouldn't be surprised to find that the version get bumped up to 4.5.1 as 
well if it gets released with kde 4.5.1) will not get released until kde 4.5.1 
putting kdepim 4.5 along side kde 4.5 breaks the testing environment. And it 
will generate noise that shouldn't be seen yet. After kde 4.5 gets pushed to 
testing fine put kdepim 4.5 in unstable; a compromise which I can't stand 
personally, it would be better to wait until it is packaged with the version 
that the developers say that its good to go with.
