"Because the point is not that Plasma is currently unstable, the point is that after telling everybody that 4.0 was the broken release and 4.1 was for stabilisation, they did the exact opposite and went ahead with more major changes to Plasma."

Again: You are whining about alpha-software. That is: software that is nowhere near release. And in case you didn't know, major version-numbers (4.0 ==> 4.1 ==> 4.2 etc.) are for new features and functionality, besides bugfixes. And that is exactly what is happening here. New functionality often bring with it new bugs. But those get sorted out.

"Whether they pull it together and fix things before 4.1 is released is beside the point."

No it is not.

"I'm complaining about the development process, not the software."

Why? What matters is the software that gets developed. I don't care one bit if KDE-coders create 4.1 night before the release, what I care about is the quality of the software that gets released. And alpha-software is way too early to pass judgement regarding the quality of 4.1.0.
