That's marketing. Experience with rt tells BestPractical's marketing 
needs to be read with caution.

I am. Actually I have been continuously working on rt-4.0.x:

A pretty outdated version can be found in
http://corsepiu.fedorapeople.org/packages/

A more recent version package can be found on Packman:
ftp://packman.links2linux.de/pub/packman/fedora/20

ATM, I currently am locally testing a rt-4.0.18 rpm which I intend to 
upload to fedorapeople.org + packman end of this week, ... if time permits.

I haven't looked into 4.2.x, yet, but I already know it once more will 
require yet another lengthy series of perl-modules.

Correct. The initial idea was to make rt3 installable in parallel to rt2 
and rt4. It used to be possible with rt2, but unfortunately, this plan 
has failed with rt-4.0.x

rt4 was never submitted for review, because it's long dependency 
requirement chains were stuck in Fedora review queues and absurdities.
In the end, I never managed to return to finish the plan to submit it.

Right ... an it's basically the same situation this year:

End of years my personal situation tends to become hectic and time to 
become very rare, with BestPractical's and Fedora's habits to release a 
major update next to end of year not being helpful either ;)
