Oh, as I'm still reading kde-packager and release-team ml's I'd like to let
you know that Distro's are not very likely to pick up 4.5.0 soon (except
maybe SuSE). There are some problems with the release (missing kdepim
release, problems due to that with translations, libraries doing bic
changes needing a complete re-build of all related apps) and some packagers
already expressed that they're going to let it mature a bit in some
'experimental' package repositories before pushing it even into the
'unstable' branches (or simply waiting with packaging until after their
vacation).

I don't want to tell you to hold off the merging for any longer, I just
wanted to let you know that you might not find that many testers in the
next 2-3 months (or so) than we had for 4.0...
