All the options will come back. If not in 4.1 then at least in 4.2. I have watched the progress of plasma since a few months and I have to say its unbelievable how fast it evolved. The release had to be done because there were many things which were already in very good shape. Have a look at the games, edu, okular, gwenview ... unfortunately plasma started late in the cycle but if you compare the commits from the last month to the moths before, its two or three times more and its still at that high level. without the release plasma probably wouldn't be at the same state like it is now and would probably not progress that fast.
you also have to keep in mind that there are different groups, which worked on different parts of KDE. So you have the artists that are responsible for the look and trust me, they are by far not that good at coding than at art.
another reason for the release are the distributions and 3rd party software. if you look at the very first kubuntu packages and the latest one, you can see that they are more polished and stable now. much of the crashes happen due to packaging bugs. I used kde4daily and it merely crashed. so you can expect that the distributions gain some experience with KDE4 the next few moths and with 4.1 they are able do deliver very fast a stable KDE4.
Now that 4.0 is out, it also represent the point to start porting apps to KDE4, so with 4.1 in a few moths you will have many KDE4 apps from 3rd parties which you wouldn't have if the release had been delayed to the time 4.1 will come out.
