For instance because of posts like this:

http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-buildsystem&m=116644624732719&w=2

I don't want to break the build of KDE for our developers. I always *hate* it 
if I want to compile something and notice any of the dependencies has changed 
and I have to start from scratch again.
That said I won't increase the required minimum version without at least two 
weeks warning period.
Especially if it's "only" for increased performance and not because something 
doesn't work.

I'll have a closer look at the issue later today. Maybe we can do it 
compatible with 2.4.3.

Bye
Alex
