Well, as Qt is part of KDE, updating it in order for KDE's progress is 
inevitable. Yet KDE development should not force updating of development 
tools/requirements more than necessary.

CVS is simply mature, does not undergo significant changes, and can simply be 
relied upon. SVN is still in flux and will change frequently. Oh, I already 
anticipate recurring statements like, "KDE rep doesnt work with svn 1.x 
anymore, use 1.x+10 instead". So you will be forced to update svn *often*, 
much more often than once in a decade.

Why dont we wait until SVN reaches a mature state like cvs, and switch then?
