Haha, sorry, but I doubt any applications that have their own release schedule
and are currently using Qt4 (and not kde) will *add* a dependency on KDE4libs
until at minimum kdelibs puts out a beta. I know I wouldn't. My app wouldn't
have everything that kdelibs will give me, but if I added a dependency on
kdelibs right now my releases would freeze and worse I would have *no* idea
when kdelibs will be released on all my platforms so that I can just have a
dependency. Maybe I wouldn't have another release for a year. That is just
suicide for a lot of small open source applications that have a few
developers.
Way more likely they will rip out the parts of KDE they want themselves until
kdelibs gets a stable release out.
