Concerns about TDE R14 and 3.5.13.2 SRU

Hi everyone, I have a few concerns about TDE R14 and 3.5.13.2 SRU It seems to me that 3.5.13.2 SRU has next to perfect stability, features and reliability, while R14 is not there yet. By looking at this page: http://www.trinitydesktop.org/patches/ , almost all I can see is that the dev team is working very hard to just keep R14 in working conditions. Sometimes Amarok doesn't start, sometimes desktop or menus are unresponsive for a moment, some themes doesn't work completely and it is not like if the user would benefit from a new set of feature or a complete visual overhaul. I cannot see why an user would benefit from using the upcoming R14 when it is compared to the stability of 3.5.13.2 SRU. Everything works as it should in 3.5.13.2. It wolud have been a very good ground for improving TDE on top of it. All of this trouble is supposed to be for the integrations of QT4 parts in TDE, but it seems to me that in R14, it will be used nowhere, not even for a single check-box in a config panel. Maybe it is just me, maybe I would need some explanations. I mean that if the efforts has been made to make TDE more attractive to new users and to modernize it, it would certainly have more popularity. As well as making a new ''outside'' on top of an outdated car is not good, changing everything under the hood and keeping the old outdated ''outside'' is certainly not better at all. I know that TDE could be better, if some attention could be thrown at things that are not just under the hood. Just one man's opinion... Tell us what you think! -Alexandre
