But is a little disappointing to see that the more long discussions have

Lancelot locks accessing NTFS partition or KDE 4.2 moving to unstable
*this* week threads).
The last few weeks were quite tense. Therefore discussions sometimes became
quite offensive. Another reason is that they both were quite long overdue. For
example, Debian KDE bug handling "policy" (it became such over time
unwillingly and I don't see it changing due to the lack of manpower) has
already been like this for the last couple of years (hence the number of bugs
which has accumulated). However, it has simply never been official stated or
explained anywhere. We know it might NOT be perfect or even good, however it
is the best Debian Qt/KDE Team can do at the moment. I believe it is better
for users to know that beforehand than get angry and annoyed because nobody
cares about her/his bug report...
And now here come people out of blue who say:
If Debian can't shoulder the burden of maintaining KDE, they shouldn't be
packaging it.
That's harsh, disrespectful and quite insulting statement for both users and
developers. Sometimes people forget that Debian is community/volunteer driven
and we try to do our best. Suggestions about improvements are welcome, but
demands are very impolite and unfair.
It's always like that?
Nop. I think it will get back to normal soon with another spike when KDE 4
migrates to testing.
The users (like me) are
always so hard to understand the point of view
of the developers?
I think most users understand perfectly.
I think that we should just shut up some times and accept the opinion of
people that knows things because it's doing it, and not because thinks
that would be made in some way.
Maybe I'm wrong, it's just my opinion. Thanks for all anyway, your help
it's appreciated, and the results are wonderful.
You are absolutely right.
