"The KDE Release Team has revised the release schedule for KDE 4.0. The first visible bits of KDE 4.0 will be the KDE Development Platform release on October, 30. This Development Platform release consists of bits and pieces needed to develop KDE applications. It includes kdesupport, kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdebase/runtime. The purpose of the KDE Development Platform release is to make it easier for third party developers to port their applications to KDE4 technology and to start developing new applications. The final and long awaited release of the KDE Desktop 4.0 is planned for December, 11th 2007, well in time to be a Christmas present for everyone who has been longing for KDE 4.0."

Yes. Considering how long the Duke Nukem Forever product has taken, do you really think they are waiting for bad reasons? Would it have been better to just ship junk and hope for the best?
Anyway, I don't like the long release cycle that they chose for the 4.0 release, either. Release early and often is much better even if that means forcing a trimmed stable release every 6-9 months.
But now that they've done it with the longer cycle for the initial 4.0, the best thing for them is to get it solid before the release. If that means a few weeks (or even a month or so) delay, then so be it.
