How about unreleased cvs snapshots? kdepim in F7 failed to work after a recent 
upgrade (and had been working fine) and my problem was only solved by 
upgrading to F8 which had a more recent cvs snapshot that is still buggy but 
usable. Rolling back did not work. The only support I got by the Fedora 
maintainer was telling me to report it upstream. Upstream does not support it 
because its a cvs snapshot and not a released version.

What do we do about that? This is the current status of kdepim in both F7 & 8.
