Exactly as I said earlier in the thread:

"I have no qualms with what the devs did.  KDE4 is out, and so the Arch 
devs have to upgrade to it.  (And in fact, IMO, they even were pretty 
cautious about the upgrade, waiting several months until 4.1 was 
released before upgrading.)  Arch is a distro that uses "bleeding edge" 
software, and we all know that going in.  And if somebody wants to use 
old packages, the onus is on them to make it happen."

I'm reserving judgment on it till I've had a chance to really use it in 
a major way.  It might turn out to be great for me in the long run.  But 
I'm a bit busy right now, and it's just too much of a change to my 
environment for me to take on right now.  So, dunno - "epic fail" seems 
a bit premature for me right now.
