--- Comment #12 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
The obvious answer is no, we shouldn't release with known major defects like
this.

However with no ability to delay a release until such defects are fixed, the
above cannot really be enforced.

And even if we could and did, we'd have a lot of delays because there are a lot
of significant defects from a QA perspective. Here's "confirmed crashes and
worse", for example:

https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?bug_severity=critical&bug_severity=grave&bug_severity=major&bug_severity=crash&bug_status=CONFIRMED&classification=Plasma&list_id=3592653&product=kwin&product=plasmashell&query_format=advanced

There's more than double that amount if we consider the ones that aren't
confirmed.

The obvious conclusion here is that Plasma suffers from significant QA issues
that need to be sorted out to achieve a semi-professional standard of quality
like "don't release with known major issues".

I'd love to work towards that, but it may entail uncomfortable conversations
like "should we really release on a regular schedule with no ability to gate
the release on a lack of QA issues?"
