How many maintenance releases will 4.3 have?

Hi,

How many maintenance releases are planned for 4.3, or will development
completly focus on KDE-4.4?

With KDE-4.3 KDE4 has reached a level of quality where I really enjoy
working with it.
It would be great to see users of recent distributions shipping
KDE-4.3 (Fedora 12, Kubuntu 9.10) could enjoy ongoing small
improvements.

Well, I'll switch to KDE-4.4 beta anyway soon, but I know a few users
who prefer stability ;)

Thanks for all the hard work, Clemens

Judging by the other releases so far, I'd say we can expect 4.3.4 to happen
just like there were 4.2.4 and 4.1.4 and 4.0.4

Cheers,
Kevin

Kevin's a dev so take what he says first, but here's the bit he left out.

kde4 is currently on a 6-month-minor and (almost) monthly micro/
maintenance release schedule... except they skip the last one as they
focus on the betas/rcs, so there's four instead of five micro/maintenance
releases.

4.3.0 was release in early August, and 4.4.0 is scheduled for early
February.  Given the above schedule, the 4.3.4 release should be early
December, without an update (well, there are the 4.4 prereleases) in
January as they work on 4.4.0, thus nicely fitting around the holidays as
well. =:^)
