Anyway I understand a code freeze was declared to get the new version out so no reason why this cannot wait until the proper time can be dedicated to it.Not only that, but -j8 could very easily drop people's systems if they've got less-than-latest hardware (especially low-ram systems). -j2 may be a better compromize -- I'd originally added -j4 to the KDE packages, but had a number of users worried by how much it slows down the system, so it's getting changed to -j2 in the newest ones.
