I have 38 open bugs, many filed against KDE-4.5 during its stabilization cycle.
There are crashers including full stack-traces filed against beta1/2
nobody has even looked until now.

Another example is bug 232054, a rather annoying regression in Strigi
affecting Dolphin.
It was reported against 4.4.69 (so even before beta1), still the fix
won't make it into 4.5.0 - if all goes *well* it'll be in 4.5.1.
I really wish the stabilization phase would be 4 instead of just 2 months.

Please don't get me wrong - I like KDE and I am most of the time a
really happy user most of the time. I just don't think I can make a
difference by beta-testing.
