Yes. Even I didn't expect KDE 5.x since I had heard that Fedora 18 would 
probably be the base for RHEL 7.
All I hope for is a decent KDE, 4.9.x or even 4.10 perhaps. 4.8.x would 
be too old by the time RHEL7 is released.

Anyway, regarding Qt, I hope it comes out with a very new 4.8.x version. 
I can build and install Qt5 from Fedora src RPMs
(this is pretty much what I did for RHEL5, except for some quirks with 
Phonon). That's why asked if it will be possible to
have Qt5 & 4 in parallel.


Thanks for the excellent work in managing Qt & KDE.

regards,

Syam
