I didn't pay much attention to KJob discussions as KDevelop wasn't
influenced by them until summer this year...

For 4.0 its too late - I think there were already enough breakages of
the freeze ;). But AFAIK both ways (either extending the enum or
adding two new methods) are BC and thus either can be done for 4.1.
KDevelop is not released with KDE 4.0 so for us waiting is not a problem
