I can't help but get the impression that once a piece of software reaches the point where you can get work done reliably and securely, you wish it to freeze in place and undertake no more improvements what-so-ever. Is this correct?

As to your complaints about false promises, I remember much whining about missing features and Kickoff being the default menu, but nothing about stability. The promises made in response were that 4.1 will reach feature parity with 3.5, and perhaps even surpass it in some areas. It seems to me this may be bothering you, since if Plasma does surpass KDesktop and suffers no major stability issues as consequence, you will no longer be able to make complaints that will not be regarded as issues of personal taste.

No.

In that case, by all means browse each and every release notice that appeared here on the dot, on Reddit, on Digg, on Slashdot... there were a hell of a lot of complaints, you'd have to be blind to miss them.
