To me it's more the amount of time it's been broken. How can we be
confident in releasing something that has been broken for this long? But
yes VLC package stack goes bye bye as well as dolphin and konqueror and
probably more I don't realize.

That's a long time to be broken. And we're at version 5.4.x with all
these problems and no screensaver or in my case no sound either? In my
case I also get a lot of random freeze ups with Plasma 5 where on the
same system no freeze ups on LXQt (VBox and partition). Also for such
a big change we need a good bit of time to test and solve bugs but for
the longest time we can't because it won't even update. I'm aware that
some people have been able to 'force' the update but that isn't good
testing for a what we hope to be a stable, quality release. I have all
kinds of trouble forcing the update. Something always breaks. I wish I
could get forcing the update figured out so I can see what version
5.4.1 is really like but so far no success.
When trying to update our primary desktop always breaks something for
this long of a time frame it is, um, well, scary. Not confident in
this desktop at all.
I'm starting to think we should consider a release with KDE4 and give
more time for Plasma 5 to get to a working/stable state.
One thing that might help my impression would be exactly how does one
get the forced update to work? I know you lose Dolphin and Konqueror
and I guess get stuck with inferior PCMan file manager.
Any way I'm off to try one more time in vbox to force the damn update.
