There were some initial problems with 4.6.2 but slowly it is shaping up now= =2E=20 Please file bugs (if there are not already) for your "nasty regressions"... The list of known issues [*] that is linked from my blog post also contains= =20 stuff that alone would not prevent stabilization (only regressions compared= to=20 4.4 are even considered as stable blockers). However, you are correct with one thing. Upstream is making a big mess, and= =20 I'm already looking forward to curious new bug reports for 4.6.3... As for kde-3, I fear it is going to turn into a maintenance and security=20 nightmare...
