KDE is supposed to release a 1.9x version soon which should hold the
finalized (or mostly finalized) API of the KDE libs. A beta (or even final?)
was supposed to be released in Spring (this year), but I think that will be
delayed.
Anyway if you take into account the many changes during the KDE2 development
(mainly use of CORBA, then replace CORBA with DCOP), I think we have a quiet
peaceful life here :)

Yes, but qt-copy isn't updated each day. It's mainly the same as downloading
snapshots, but without pulling everything again each time. There was once a
script published in kde-devel mailing list that would build KDE2 incremental,
means not from scratch each time. You could search kde-devel if you're
interested.
