I have a pytdeextensions patch I finished yesterday that does nothing but kde->tde and qt->tqt renames. I can push or open a bug report. Based upon everything I saw , I suspect nobody uses pytdeextensions anyway.

I think we ought to play wack-o-mole and get a nice hunk of bugs resolved before moving to hard freeze.

Please keep in mind that we want to keep the list as short as possible, in order to release R14.0.0 in a timely manner. Therefore bugs should fit in one of the next categories (in order of priority):

Every time this kind of discussion arises I am the lone voice that is ignored. Everybody focuses on Blocker and Critical bugs. The bug list needs to include paper cut issues.
