Look - every such mail defers stabilizing KDE, it's getting really
annoying. No, they can't and won't be stabilized on a piece-by-piece
basis, that would result in failed dependencies and compilation
failures. Period, no need to discuss this. This has never been done,
can't be done now and won't be done in future. The whole KDE shebang
needs to go stable at once, together with many other non-KDE ebuilds
that it depends on. So please, stop wasting limited time of limited
number of Gentoo KDE maintainers by beating a dead horse.

TIA.
