The argument in the Jan/2012 thread seemed "care about ppl. using older stock distro packages to work on"
While that's probably a valid reason I couldn't find some Qt 4.7 / KDE 4.9.4 combination (rather the opposite, eg. Qt 4.8 and KDE 4.8.4 on SuSE 12.2)
And yes, Qt 4.8 now exists for a looong time.
