Kickoff-QML in 4.10 ?

Beta tagging comes up on Thursday, but I haven't seen any indication that Kickoff-QML will be merged into 4.10. Per my concept of Beta, it seems to have slipped again, yes? If so, then I need to migrate https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/106789 forward to 4.10.) Should I also apply to Trunk?
