"My" changes, or really KDE SIG's changes, are NOT disruptive. They're minor 
feature releases which are backwards compatible at ABI/API level, which 
don't remove applications (in fact, I packaged KPilot standalone because 
upstream removed it from kdepim, I really care a lot about this kind of 
things!), which don't remove features from applications, which don't require 
any manual user interaction to perform, but which fix many bugs and add 
several great features. They're exactly the class of updates I do NOT want 
to lose.

Nonsense. I'm actually unhappy about some groups not implementing the same 
type of policy. And no, we (KDE SIG) aren't the only one which does. E.g. 
the kernel was upgraded in F12, and also quite often in the past.
