distro-specific, in my recent experience what I have seen is that KDE
is dismissing the bugs saying that the bug does not exist in KDE 4 and
that users should upgrade, which is obviously not an option for users
of CentOS 4 or 5 (or RHEL for that matter).
I support an environment with about 25 users of CentOS (4) desktops,
most of them used KDE and KMail (for historical reasons), but recently
when they start bumping at those bugs I don't even bother and
recommend that they move to GNOME and Thunderbird instead, which are
much better supported, both in CentOS/RHEL, and in their own projects.
Some might consider KDE superior, but as long as they will refuse to
support KDE 3, they are dead to me...
Upstream has always used GNOME as the default. I switched to Thunderbird and I won't look back to Evolution or anything else.
