Ars reviews KDE 4.0.0: "KDE 4.0 was officially released last week after extensive development. The long-awaited 4.0 release ushers in a new era for the popular open-source desktop environment and adds many intriguing new features and technologies. Unfortunately, the release comes with almost as many new bugs as it does features, and there is much work to be done before it sparkles like the 3.5.x series." They were also at the KDE 4.0 release event.

No one's arguing the release. We're arguing whether it should be tagged 4.0.
If its not tagged 4.0, people won't test it. This is true at least for myself. I installed it on 3 machines here when it hit 4.0. I wouldn't have bothered with a beta or developer preview or technology preview. Sure it has lots of issues, but at least I tested it.

There are any number of philosophies on when to release software and all kinds of factors play a part in choosing which to pick.
KDE went with the traditional FOSS approach of release early/release often. They have their reasons for this approach. It may not mesh with what you want, but then you (I assume) aren't writing it.
