not what I meant: off course it can be used on a server, so can the gimp, this
doesn't make the gimp server software does it? All I'm saying is that KDE,
when installed on a server is not a mission-critical piece of software.
Besides major bugs would've been filtered out by the kde release proces, and
minor bugs would not interfere with functioning of a server.

kde 3.2. will be the stable kde release come 8 december

unless I'm completely mistaken the kde packagers commit there directly in kde
cvs.

last couple of kde releases there have been deb packages available for testing
with the kde release candidates, which were used rather extensively, assuming
this continues for kde 3.2 these packages would be tested

While I agree it wouldn't be the end of the world, and it has certainly been
that way sofar, I most definately do _NOT_ agree that "it is supposed to work
that way". Stable having outdated software is an (undesired) side-effect from
keeping the stable release stable. If we can have up-to-date software that
is also reasonably stable (again this is end-user software, not
server-software) this is better no?
