users certainly have applauded that he had working sound in the past and 
wait for months / years to get it back somehow - and that's why people 
should stop rewrite and replace working things until they are not able 
to do it proper and learn from the past

it takes more time?
so what!
it can take as long as it takes because people have working setups

and i tell you what happens now: the code developed in a ivory tower get 
fixes left and right to make it somehow useable and after that it looks 
as ugly as before and KDE6 development will start with the same outcome 
as KDE4 and KDE5 - *hopefully* Fedora KDE-SIG when that happens has 
learned their lessons and wait as long as it takes instead ruin again 
our desktop expierience for the sake of be first


and frankly: KDE is a special topic because we had the same tradegy in 
2009 with KDE4, GNOME developers did the same faults instead learning 
from the KDE fiasco and even KDE developers did not learn from their own 
mistakes

people make mistakes, no question, but if people repeating the same 
mistakes again and again it's stupidity
