Both nondestructive editing, versioning and hiding RAWs if corresponding 
JPGs exist are not available yet, but there are already wishlist reports 
on bugs.kde.org (I don't have their IDs at the moment). I am not quite 
up-to-date on whether somebody is really trying to get them implemented, 
though.

See also the thread 'Organizing mode' which was on this mailinglist 
these days, probably just before you subscribed to it ;-)
