True, but (thanks to people on IRC setting me straight) I see now how I 
failed to express myself correctly.

The difference between 1/2 and 3/4 is that 3/4 say "kdelibs does not 
link to kdefx/blitz". So I should have written "remove -->use of<-- 
kdefx from kdelibs" (and either use pure Qt, or copy code (until 4.1) if 
there is absolutely no other option). Sorry for the confusion! :-)

The "BC" part means that "KDE 4.1" and later will not depend on 
kdefx/blitz (obviously KDE 4.0 apps may still require it, but that is 
for packagers to deal with).
