I have always intended to add KDE4 as an additional package to KDE3.  At
some time in the future, it might be appropriate to drop KDE3, but KDE4
will have a fair bit a maturing to do.

The reason I was holding off on Qt4 is because nothing we had used it.
I was waiting for KDE4 to add Qt4.  Again, I plan on adding Qt4 in
