Haha, sorry, but I doubt any applications that have their own release sched=

and are currently using Qt4 (and not kde) will *add* a dependency on KDE4li=

until at minimum kdelibs puts out a beta.  I know I wouldn't. My app wouldn=

kdelibs right now my releases would freeze and worse I would have *no* idea=

when kdelibs will be released on all my platforms so that I can just have a=

dependency.  Maybe I wouldn't have another release for a year.  That is jus=

suicide for a lot of small open source applications that have a few=20
developers.

Way more likely they will rip out the parts of KDE they want themselves unt=

kdelibs gets a stable release out.
