Comment 26 for bug 199165

in the transition from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4 someone made a little mistake. That's a fact. Maybe it is just a handful of lines that is missing. He did it in his freetime, and I appreciate all the work he put into KDE 4. But working on KDE 4 is not fun, it is a job where you have responsibilities, too. The community depends on him. Millions of hours have been put into KDE 4 by hundreds of people.

I don't say that the problem has to be fixed until next week or next month. But I think it is just fair for all the other developers who work hard to make KDE4 more popular through their programs, that the respective specialist does everything in his powers to track down the bug, and communicates to the others (WORK IN PROGRESS) or (JUST MARRIED, BUT NEXT MONTH I WILL).

If I could fix it, I would. But I'm not a specialist. If the developers don't take this responsibility, because they think that working for KDE is just fun, then KDE has no future. I would regret that.

This comment is meant to be productive criticism. Responsibility needs to be taken.
