Thoughts on merging KDE into Qt and Is "Linux" slowing down ?

[Linuxguy123]

I know that developers have nothing better to do (wink) so I thought I
would mention that I'd love to hear (see) a discussion of what the
Fedora people think of KDE being merged into Qt.

And, on another slant, is it me or is the pace of "Linux" development
slowing down now that KDE4.x is becoming somewhat mature ?  Where do
things go from here ?

Thanks !
