I completely agree with you, but that still leaves broken parts of KDE SC. I mean, you obviously can't release them since they are broken so if you follow that logic they block the release or they just don't end up in the release. Both options aren't very attractive. So what do we need to do with broken parts of KDE SC even though they don't interrupt normal KDE usage? _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
