that's pretty obvious. however, if qt and kde had the same development
cycle, at least newly introduced features would not be duplicated. of
course it's unrealistic to keep the release cycles in sync (obviously
even in this case where it could buy kde a lot), but i can't see how you
can advertise qt4.2's feature freeze at this point being to kde's
benefit. ;)
