The KDE project has delayed the release of KDE 4.0 by two months. "We, The Release Team, hereby announce that we are extending the KDE 4.0.0 schedule 2 months by inserting an extra 2 Betas, as follows: September 24: Beta3. October 22: Beta4. November 19: Total Release Freeze. November 21: RC1. December 5: RC2. December 20: 4.0.0 tagged. We feel that there are crucial elements of the release that need more development time. The feature freeze (less exemptions) remains in effect."

Interestingly, when I wrote my two editorials on the future of GNOME and KDE, I already predicted that the KDE guys would never be able to release KDE 4.0 in 2007. I was almost crucified for saying it - by people here on OSNews, but also by people within the KDE community.

And look where we are now. It's not that I mind KDE 4.0 got delayed - seriously, I prefer delays over a crappy product. What bothers me is that people went all mental when I predicted these delays.
Anyway, Aaron, I know you read OSNews, so how about this [1] ? It's getting interesting now
