tell that the Fedora people which think they can repeat the same game 
with every KDE major upgrade with their users aas well as a ignornat 
upstream *not care* for users - if upstream wants to develop some study 
they should state so and not calling it a "desktop environment" for users

YOU AND I CAN NOT MAKE SURE ANYTHING - the support window for F21 with 
KDE4 is nearly closing - otherwise i would not have upgraded - i needed 
to do that now because there are people which i recommended Fedora years 
ago and if need to bite the bad things before they need to upgrade wich 
is *my* responsibility, a responsibility developers don#t show AND NO i 
also don#t get payed for!
