And plans change (and they did).  KDE never
committed (which is different from "no plans")
to support X11 until plasma7, just some wished
to interpret it that way.  Given that Plasma7,
which depends on Qt7, is unlikely to be
released until 2033-ish (admittedly a lot
of release date hand waving there), I am
not surprised they decided that eight years
was just a bridge too far.  Giving individuals
advanced notice (even if not as long as
some might like), gives those impacted
individuals time to make plans (or plans
to build and run Plasma 6.7 long term).

If the KDE organization is properly community
driven, I am sure they understood the change
was not going to be universally accepted.
You can't make all the people happy all of
the time.

If you truly believe you were bait-and-switched,
the only appropriate reaction is to stop using
the product/service.  That is as true for your
local brick and mortar store as it would be for
KDE.
