I was hoping I could fix the menu disappearing bug in kompmgr, but I couldn't. After watching several users on R14 not know why their menus were randomly not appearing and hard rebooting off their computers (the logoff/reboot option is normally available from Kicker, which is a popup menu), I realized that this was a significant usability issue that should block the R14 release. > Anyhow, if you think that compton-tde is stable enough to be used as the > official compositor, I will second your thoughts and agree with its > inclusion, because you have already done a lot of work on it and because > it is going to take at least 3 months before v14.0.0 is ready, so there is > still time to fix eventual small problems.

I am just getting back into the swing of things here on the TDE project (life is finally allowing this!) and didn't think twice about the commit--all those years where TDE was primarily a one man show make it hard to break old habits. ;-) My apologies for introducing confusion.
