No, it's not a Technical Preview, but a beta1. And you better watch
your language. I'm not one of your hutchigutchis.
Yet although it was not in that message, the developers have repeatedly
referred to it as a technical preview, as I'm sure you are aware.
As for my language - it's standard English. Nothing wrong with what I wrote.
Kde-pim is central to work for many of us. In view of that we can't just make
a snap, uninformed decision. If we were worried about a media-player or image
application there would always be another to fall back on. This is simply not
the same - for many of us it is of the utmost importance.
That some of us use testing packages benefits Fedora, which seems to be
completely overlooked at the moment.
