I think you are wrong. KDE will release KDE4 sooner, my guess around February. Features will be cut down if they are not finished. For your information, there was also a heated thread on KDE-core-devel mailing list at the start of the developmment of KDE 4 to decide when to drop Qt3. The final decision was to drop it quickly. > > And also there are many people, who do not upgrade his/her distro that > frequently.

If you want a stable LyX stay with 1.4.x If the LyX team adds to the last version of the 1.4.x series the possibility to import the 1.5 LyX format, I don't see how we are damaging our user base. I'm also in favour of chopping Qt3 head in the guillotine quickly. Charles -- http://www.kde-france.org
