I think you'll find there's a fair amount of self-serving noise in that
"Package Policy" noise. The "Red Hat employee" who "only has limited
time to spend" on KDE packaging is Bernard Rosenkranz at redhat.de. I
suspect his choice of when to spend time on KDE packaging issues simply
doesn't correspond to KDE's release schedules, but is rather
concentrated on coordinating with Red Hat's release schedules for the
distribution. Looking at the current time frame (it's been out since
May 6th, about 1.5 months so far) and the history of release schedules
for Red Hat in the past, they must be working on the next release now.
I can't picture Bero concentrating on KDE 3.0.1 releases for 7.3 to the
exclusion of the necessary issues involved in getting that done.
Nonetheless, what's going to be part of the next release usually shows
up in rawhide for immediate use, and can be installed on your current
setup.
