No, the fremantle version has the "conservative" policy still for two reasons:
  • The code is taken from the same branch as the desktop version, where KDE policies apply (no new features in stable branches)
  • The fremantle version includes translations, which must not be changed in between minor versions per KDE policy
I could resolve the first one by packaging the Fremantle version from the same branch as the Harmattan one, but the second reason would still apply.

That also means that once we introduce translations (user interface in other versions than english) to the Harmattan version, we cannot introduce new features as easily anymore. That should happen for version 1.4.

We're not the only KDE application facing this problem; I hope that policies change now that mobile applications become more and more popular (which are usually updated more often).
