Strictly speaking, Roberto should be the one to declare Kat death (or
not), but he has not been spotted in ages... so, de facto...

Much of Strigi is independent of KDE and 4.0 in particular. It is the
integration into KDE widgets, etc that is KDE 4.0 particular.

But you can start using it now, particularly if you are happy with a
command line interface. Kubuntu comes with a nice GUI tool for KDE
3.5, of which I am not sure if it is in SVN.
