That's the conflict in others proposal - they want conservative updates that breaks every 6 month (and 1 year max) by really big changes... Our changes while we're updating are not so terrible :( "Previous stable" needs prolonged support for this release (but it's out of scope of KDE SIG - that's why I'd like to have it done on whole disto basis).
