You suggest that feature-incomplete software replace their feature-complete
counterparts and be pushed to end users to get feedback? What feedback do you
want? I personally compared Kaddressbook 4.3 to 4.4 and filed bugs that listed
all feature regression, some of which were major. Want other feedback do you
need from _end_users_ at that point?
> This is harmfull to commit those important commits in branches
Are you suggesting that pushing feature-incomplete experimental versions of
otherwise stable software to end users is not harmful? Please tell me, what is
the purpose of KDE SC, if not to provide usable software for the end user? From
the kde.org homepage:
"...dedicated to creating a free and user-friendly computing experience..."
Shipping feature-incomplete software as a replacement for working software is
user-friendly?
>From the "What is KDE" page:
"Our community has developed a wide variety of applications for communication,
work, education and entertainment. "
How do you expect people to use the software for communication, work, education
and entertainment when experimental feature-incomplete versions replace stable
versions of software?
>From the "What is KDE" page:
"Our products are used by millions of home and office workers, and are being
deployed in schools around the world"
Do you not think that you have some responsibility to the very home and office
workers and schools that your flaunt as your users?
>From the "What is KDE" page:
"KDE produces a number of key applications such as ... Kontact, the
comprehensive personal information management suite."
Kontact is billed as a key KDE application. Thus key functionality is removed
from KDE when shipping experimental versions of software to end users.
>From the "What is KDE" page:
"It is our hope and continued ambition that the KDE team will bring open,
reliable, stable and monopoly-free computing to the everyday user."
Reliable? Stable? Shipping this Kaddresbook version was the exact opposite of
reliable or stable.
