Well, that's better, but still a bit too early.

Let's assume the TP is released this week, and that the releases happen four 
weeks apart[*]:
W36 - Qt 4.6 technical preview
W40 - Qt 4.6 beta
W44 - Qt 4.6 release candidate
W48 - Qt 4.6 final

KDE beta is W46. It would require that the releases be spaced less than 4 
weeks apart, or that the RC finds no major issues. We're trying to shorten our 
release cycle, but less than 3 months between TP and final is a stretch right 
now.

Also remember that there's Qt Dev Days in the middle (see signature below for 
dates).

[*] Qt 4.5: TP W43/2008, beta W50/2008, RC W5/2009, final W10/2009
Qt 4.4: TP W51/2007, beta W9/2008, RC W14/2008, final W18/2008
