Yet although it was not in that message, the developers have repeatedly 
referred to it as a technical preview, as I'm sure you are aware.

As for my language - it's standard English.  Nothing wrong with what I wrote.

Kde-pim is central to work for many of us.  In view of that we can't just make 
a snap, uninformed decision.  If we were worried about a media-player or image 
application there would always be another to fall back on.  This is simply not 
the same - for many of us it is of the utmost importance.

That some of us use testing packages benefits Fedora, which seems to be 
completely overlooked at the moment.
