Yeah I know all the stories and details and understand them.
(Though maybe when 4.0 was not for users it might should have
stayed numbered 3.99.9xx :-) But as developer of T2 testing
trunk, I -of course- had to test / use those versions. If I had
a kmail I might also have kept using it - actually for 4.0.1
we even had a kdepim snapshot that built and worked (to some
degree :-) But after some week it got a little too annoying.

From my side that was just a little comment that I do not
exactly know the current state and have to (and will) give
it a closer look and spin.

I really enjoy such mails on the T2 list, as it shows to me
that T2 becomes more known and is in wider use (of course I
notice the every increasing server load and the ever increasing
amount of unique monthly visitors on the http://t2-project.org),
but I still enjoy the increasing mailing list traffic and
general discussions along the lines.

Have a nice weekend,

  René
