That's an expression of a suspicion based on observation. It's being
reinforced by you words (see below). You could deny it but calling it an
impolite statement is meaningless, at best.

So, you mean it wasn't a mistake and will be continued for KDE in the
future ? You talk about "We, the maintainers" as if it's the rule. It
isn't, of course. For example, kernel maintainers don't push every
kernel version into Testing. On the contrary, there are several versions
that never come to Testing. The same is true for many other packages.

Could you please explain how they're "ironed" when they're inflicted on
the users of Debian Testing? Weren't the users of Debian Unstable enough
for that "ironing"? There is a difference between the Testing and
Unstable repositories.

You mean the maintaining job? Yes, of course, you SHOULD have a Debian
Unstable for THAT job. By "use" I meant ordinarily using your operating
system for any job. An environment, whose CPU usage goes high for no
good reason, whose network manager can't remember any password, whose
custom shortcuts and mouse gestures are missing, whose file manager
crashes once in a while,... is not for use yet. There's nothing
complicated about the meaning of the word "use" here. Or do you want to
play with words instead of reasoning, as you tried to do in the case of
the word "polite", or in another place, where you wrote about Qt4's
being "dead"?
> If you don't like that, please, use stable.
Totally irrelevant to the discussion. Criticizing this way of
maintaining KDE/Qt doesn't have anything to do with disliking Debian
Testing. Red herring?!
