The we should probably notify all 3rd party maintainers to try
running/compiling their packages against kde 3.2 in experimental/p.do
packages.
IMHO the real problem is arm/mips/mipsel/m68k - nothing guarantees that
they will compile our packages in timely manner. I am not really happy
of the thought that providing the best possible kde to 99% of
our users depends on compiling kde on platforms whose users will
probably not really use kde for anything :(
