Earlier this year, the KDE team released the highly-anticipated 4th major revision of the KDE desktop. Instead of bringing evolutionary changes, KDE 4.0 effectively delivered a complete rewrite of KDE, and as a consequence the first release of the KDE 4 branch lacked a lot of features of KDE 3.x, while also being quite unstable and rough. Many even complained the KDE team shouldn't have released KDE 4.0 as 4.0, but rather as a developer preview release or something similar. During this storm of criticism, the KDE team calmly pointed out that KDE 4.1 would fix many, many of the issues people had with KDE 4.0. Starting today, there's no more pointing towards KDE 4.1: KDE 4.1 has been released today.

That is silly. The only reason that would be the case is if the kde core developers have no communication at all with the developers working on the platform. Since all the mailing lists are open, we know that isn't true. KDE4 was a milestone, not a release. The only reason they made it a release is because they were already late, and didn't want to look bad by waiting another 7 months to do it right.
