Yes, I know. I'm trying to strike the balance between driving things
forward, doing things correctly and not changing things for changes
sake. 0.3.8 has a lot of new stuff, but it's not fundamentally different
like the 0.1.x to 0.2.x change was.

I've just built 0.3.8 in Rawhide, as we need the QT library for
KPackageKit, and the updated translations. If it's easier for you,
please feel free to create an upstream distro branch and then cherry
pick fixes like opensuse does.
