There is just so much wrong with your email.

* Nokia can't clean up anything in KDE development, since KDE is run by a 
free community

* is there actually something to clean up ?

* get a cleaner restart - well, we just had a very clean restart

* ... from KDE1 - this is just ridiculous. KDE 1 - nice back then, but 
quite monolithic, no unicode, no plugins, no Mac or Windows support - 
what should somebody do with this ?

* it became chaotic - I don't see anything chaotic

* KDE4 became painful - KDE4 is in the process of becoming ready for 
everyday use. 4.0 may have been painful, due to the "clean restart" you 
want and which we had.
