Don't you think it is quite trollish to tell somebody to "shut up about KDE 4.0" during a discussion about testing development distributions?
IMHO KDE-4.0 is an text book example of software release planing and management failure. Should it be kept from being discussed **in the context of release testing and planing** because it embarrasses some? I don't think so.

It's not because it embarrasses people. It's because it's *boring*. We've been over this dead horse until only a pile of bones is left.
Why people don't test development distributions

As a KDE developer - I agree. The whole KDE 4.0 fiasco was a mess.
But the developers who are embarrassed by it all just keep quiet and get to work trying to make the code better, leaving behind the noisy people who claim that KDE isn't to blame.
