Not exactly... we've said over and over again that a package should
remain for ~30 days simply to weed out bugs.  It's been 30 days.  I
*never* said that KDE was not stable because it had not been in testing
for 30 days, but rather that you should wait until at least 30 days of
no bugs until asking why.  That part is pretty clear in the afore quoted
text.

How can you get KDE released?  You can't.  Only a developer with CVS
access can do that.  You can *help* by testing and whatnot, but in the
end, without access to commit to the CVS tree, you cannot complete a
release.

As for me personally attacking you, I've done no such thing.  I have
attacked *the way* that you have been portraying yourself through the
words you have chosen with your emails.  However, I have definitely been
out of line in some of my comments, and for that, I apologise.  I just
get tired of hearing users time and time again point out all of our
flaws with nothing helpful to say, until later when we point out that
their original comments were inflammatory.

Besides... why in the world would you want to use KDE anyway?  Gnome is
*way* better...
