It'll be kicked otu the door as it was tagged, so unless the ag was moved 
after the fix was put in, it'll go out with the fix. 

BTW, emailing kde-core-devel and rd about this would have been better than 
kde-quality, due to the fact that there's a possible showstopper bug that's 
been found. the kde-quality list (currently) has no clout when it comes to 
these sort of things.
