To be honest: I have no idea. I'm mainly involved with openSUSE and have 
almost no idea about Fedora and Kubuntu besides what I've googled within a few 
minutes.

openSUSE's next release taking until summer, Rekonq has enough time to do more 
development. With Fedora and Kubuntu the time is more pressing.

Maybe you guys should ask Kubuntu's and Fedora-KDE's dev teams what it needs 
exactly to become default browser.
Pointing out that Rekonq just reuses upstream components (QtWebKit, KDE's 
password, bookmark, and cookie management) might help as they are part of 
Qt's/KDE's regular bugfix cycle anyway.

Maybe it would help, if you do a stable Rekonq release along with KDE SC 4.4. 
You could even make it into the 4.4 release notes.

Are there any arguments against calling the next release 1.0? With KWallet and 
Adblock support, I don't see any reason why it can't be called 1.0.

No, I do not. Qt 4.6 with KDE SC 4.3.4 is not a supported combination and I 
had problems with "too new" Qt versions in the past.
There's also no one who offers Rekonq snapshots on openSUSE's Build Service.
