Martin,

if you remember there are a lot of people using KDE that are not 'core' 
developers. Typically they are one-time developers, they are artists, they are 
translators etc.
I just wanted to point this out since your attitude can easily be mistaken as 
not caring about the people that are not able to do the Qt upgrade. I do 
believe you care, and thats why I think its important to indeed put in that 
little bit of extra time to make sure we don't use Qt4.8 APIs.   Or just 
respond fast to a person noticing the compilation issue.

Its not a whole lot of effort, as far as I can tell, but it does have a pretty 
big influence on our community members that may not have the computer power or 
computer savy or just the time you have.

thanks :)
