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 :) -- Thomas Zander
