I think the slow poke is actually likely to be CentOS/Redhat based linux. This probably matters more for QGIS server but we do list desktop packages for that family. Qt 4.6.x appears to be what's in the current CentOS/Redhat 6 +1 for moving minimum to 4.6 It's probably reasonable to bump Qt version once per year, so in 2014 if CentOS/Redhat 7 comes out I expect it will have something newer (4.7+) Traditionally this distro is the the furthest behind but is quite common in corporate/enterprise deployments (more servers than desktops).
