After discussing the current state of KWin trunk and branches with Martin we have \
come to the conclusion that the tiling branch merge will unfortunately have to be \
postponed until KDE 4.5. We would like the tabbing branch merged first and as it \
looks like that branch will be scraping it in near the hard feature freeze date it \
will not leave enough time left to ensure that the tiling features are of release \
quality.

By the sound of things (I haven't actually read any code or even tried the branch \
myself) the branch is on track to be able to be merged as soon as the KDE 4.5 \
development window opens. This is the perfect time to merge as it will give us four \
entire months of unrestricted development time plus two more months of bug fixing to \
work out any usability issues/improvements that show themselves when tiling is used \
by a much larger user base.

I hope this message has not negatively affected your enthusiasm as you've really been \
pumping out the commits the past few months. I'm looking forward to be able to do \
window tiling in KWin and personally cannot wait until KDE 4.5 development begins. =)
