    Compared to what I am talking about it is a huge change. My suggestion is not to do this. How I know it? Because I said so. It is my suggestion. Can we stop arguing about semantics and definitions of words? That’s not the point of my suggestion.

    My suggestion is to not do such big changes for 1 year and only focus on bug fixes and small changes for the developer and for the user. That’s the point. The desktop edit change is a HUGE change with new logic. It’s incredible complex compared to what I am suggesting.

      I was just curious about why you think this way. It’s not a big deal to anyone except you. The KDE team already has a deadline for new feature before a big release in order to have enough time for testing and fixing. And this wasn’t a big change or new feature so they decided to implement it. It’s pretty bold to assume this was a huge change. Both of us can go check the source code but I don’t care enough to do it.

      The edit mode works a lot better now and it’s not as buggy from my experience.

      If you really care about stability then use Debian or any other distro that delays big updates and does backports to fixes. Exactly like you are suggesting. If you are using Arch or any other rolling release distro then this is what you signed up for.

        Wrong, this is a big deal for the developers, for the users and for any maintainer of packages.

        And this wasn’t a big change or new feature so they decided to implement it. It’s pretty bold to assume this was a huge change.

        It is by definition a big change. And I defined it in my first reply. As you ignore all of this and waste my time, I will not read any further and block you now.

        The KDE team really should consider a 1 year bug hunting phase without bigger changes like the thing about desktop edit mode we discussed here. This is my suggestion.
