It may be a reasonable turn-around for some users, but it is also not defenitely reasonable for some developers. Real data: October 25, 2012: KDE SC 4.10 Soft Feature Freeze August 14, 2013: KDE SC 4.11 Release This means that if a "new" developer suggest a new feature (with half finished code) just after the soft-freeze has kicked in, when told he has to wait almost 10 months to see his feature released, he will probably walks away since he thinks "that's too long, i might be dead in 10 months". And we just lost a potential developer, and to be honest, users can be sometimes awesome, but I'll take a developer over a user any time, since the developer will help us getting more users ;-) We need to find a way to make it easier to hook-in this kind of developers, 10 months is just too much.
