it's not a great situation, no. but while we work on improving it (and some 
people are trying to :) we also have the reality that our users will be using 
KDE 4.4 with 4.6

if we depend on it, then:

* we know all our users will be using the same combination of KDE and Qt 
libraries; this makes troubleshooting easier

* we know that our developers will be working with that combination prior to 
release, meaning we will catch bugs before release. proactive bug squashing is 
good.
