It is useless not because it doesn't work, but due to the lack of 
features.  OTOH, if you installed a distro's binary, it is highly 
probable that you do not actually have the same KDE-4.0.4 desktop as you 
would if you installed from source.  Many distros have modified their 
4.0.x releases to include some of the 4.1 features.

My point, which it appears that you missed is that there is little point 
id doing more work on the KDE-4.0 BRANCH, that instead we should release 
the 4.1 BRANCH soon even if it is still lacking in features.
