[Michael Marley (mamarley)]

I have been using these packages (minus PIM and Telepathy, neither of which I use) since they were staged and haven't had any issues.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

There is no sensible review that the release team can do on this massive list of packages and major updates. Most of them are leaf packages, so it seems reasonably safe to update them one by one as long as they get tested.

Less sure about central libraries like kde4libs, kderuntime, kdepim, kde-l10n, etc -- these affect large parts of the desktop, thus need deeper testing. From my experience, every major KDE update causes a bunch of test regressions which need to be actually looked at, otherwise these packages get stuck in -proposed for weeks again. If you can commit to that, fine (and I'd like to reserve the right to remove those from -proposed which do cause regressions and are stuck for more than two weeks).

Other than these remarks, I consider the Kubuntu team self-sustained in this regard -- if https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-dev/+members want to do this update, go ahead.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
