Look - every such mail defers stabilizing KDE, it's getting really annoying. No, they can't and won't be stabilized on a piece-by-piece basis, that would result in failed dependencies and compilation failures. Period, no need to discuss this. This has never been done, can't be done now and won't be done in future. The whole KDE shebang needs to go stable at once, together with many other non-KDE ebuilds that it depends on. So please, stop wasting limited time of limited number of Gentoo KDE maintainers by beating a dead horse.
