Considering the nature of the Phoronix web site, I imagine readers and forum participants are bleeding edge types. Anything determined to be "old" by such people means obsolete and a waste of time. "Old" things are not "shiny." Doesn't matter to such people that old things remain functional. Shiny is all that counts to them. :)

All people do things that to others are deemed a waste of time. The old adage prevails that one person's junk is another person's treasures. We live in a big world but many people won't accept that.

Here is another 3.5.13.1 news announcement:

Despite us not saying a thing about KDE4 in the press release, both writers raised the topic. Reviewers seem unable to let that dog sleep. All we can do is keep avoiding the topic and remain focused on our reasons for using Trinity.
