A release that could build and run natively on MacOS would make a case from my 
perspective.

If the kdepim guys could make a good case for kdelibs changes, that might also 
support arguments for an early release.

So 7 or 8?
My concern is that we wait 6 months for Qt 4, and it takes another 12 months 
to get KDE 4 into shape.
