<quote>Basically, it's the difference between having a sysadmin
spending fifteen minutes every day or week tweaking your server to keep
it running, or having a sysadmin come in for a week once a year to do a
major upgrade.</quote>
Note that the RM was talking about servers there, while kde is end-user
software, big difference IMHO. Taking into account that kde isn't
server-software and that kde won't do release if there are major bugs left I
don't think stability should be a problem in this case.
Anyhow, just think it would be nice to avoid all the reviews going "kde not up
to date" for a change.
