So, I guess we will have a parallel installation of Qt5 with tools like 
"qmake-qt5" etc. That's good news for me.
Has anyone tried packaging Qt5 beta for a parallel set-up with Qt4?

On a related note, any concrete ideas on the version of KDE that'd come 
with RHEl 7?

We use RHEL 5.3 at work for many mission critical workstations. We are 
quite agnostic to changes and haven't adopted RHEL6. But some recent PC 
hardware are making us use RHEL6 on some less important installations. 
In 2013 or 2014, when RHEL7 is released, I was curious if we'll have a 
good version of KDE to go with it. RHEL6 came with a very shabby KDE 
4.3, (and without KDevelop).
Perhaps I can port my applications to Qt5 (and incidentally Qwt 6.x) 
along with adoption of RHEL 7.

What do you think?
