It is a technical review. However, as noted earlier kdepim 4.5 is schedualed to be brought along side packages being tested as part of the release cycle. Kdepim 4.5 is not schedualed for release. IMHO it is a mistake to include it within the framework of how kde-redhat has traditionally incorporated testing leading to final release. The last time kde released a botched kdepim the noise was horrific and very unpleasant. Again in my humble opinion it belongs somewhere on the side. If individuals wish to test it then they would be able to do it by including the kde-redhat development repo. Leaving unstable clear for testing of packages schedualed for release.
