Any chance you and the other release managers can be persuaded to change
your mind with regards to KDE in Sarge? Any reasons left for not
letting 3.3.x in now that it is getting in good shape, or do you still
foresee a lot of breakage as was Andreas Barth's initial reason for not
letting it propagate to testing?
Knowing that GNOME 2.8.x has been given the green light, I think it is
safe to say that a fair share of KDE users probably will feel a bit
"let down" not having a more recent KDE in Sarge.
Being a KDE user myself I hope the release team will look at the
KDE/Sarge matter again, and hopefully we'll have Bug#266478 closed
sooner rather than later.
And thank you for doing a splendid job getting us closer and closer to a
release.
B/R,
