OK, new plan: I think it's best to release KDE 4.3 to extra just in time 
(August 4th; my time). Its a big update but quite well tested and shouldn't 
break important things.

The reasons for not holding it in testing:
* by moving from kde-unstable to testing and then to extra within a few day we
  will produce a lot of useless traffic. There will be also a new ISO; that
  would be bad timing
* pacman has problems with having KDE 4.2 in extra and the split 4.3 in
  testing.
* The packages in testing cannot all be installed due to a file conflict I
  already fixed last week; but is still in my home dir ;-)

I'll send a new item draft soon.

If you think this is a bad idea; just shout out loud and stop me. ;-)

Pierre
