I think it would be a mistake not to. I'd rather kdepim is
a rough ride in kde-unstable than in a stable release, and
testing it early enough is what the KDE SIG and Fedora KDE
can do to make sure that doesn't happen.
I understand and appreciate that you feel that putting a
hypothetical broken kdepim into kde-unstable would be
harmful. But if this kdepim is broken, that's something
we actually have to find out! And that's what kde-unsta-
ble is for, too. I tried to talk earlier about how in my
mind it would end up being *more* harmful to give up on
kde-unstable as the place we can use for this (like we
have done so far) and instead turn it into the "bleeding
edge, but nothing too upsetting" repo. That's really a
downward spiral in how it removes pressure from packagers
to work toward integrating stuff into the main repo. I've
really seen that happen at many other distros and it's a
mess and takes a toll on overall package quality.
I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
