Now I think we really explained that well enough, we're working to mark it |
| 5 |
stable as soon as we can. |

And before people start thinking we got 3.5.2 months before it was released, |
| 11 |
the prereleases are three days before final release, they are _not_ for |
| 12 |
testing purposes, they are for binary distributions to prepare packages and |
| 13 |
for us to prepare ebuild, and a "build & run" kind of test to make sure there |
| 14 |
are no obvious problems. |

Although modular, KDE 3.5 has to go stable _at once_ and if KMail is totally |
| 17 |
broken, or has major feature loss (it had), we can't go stable. |

Now, we're going to stable this as soon as it's possible, but making us lose |
| 20 |
time on this is something you don't want, as that takes time to the bugs |
| 21 |
resolution. |

If you really want, you use ~arch directly, I'm doing that since I started |
| 24 |
using Gentoo, and works as a charm for me. |
