OK, let's have some facts from the horse's mouth.

Thus quoth Allen Winter on the 29th June -

As you are probably aware, kdepim will be withheld from the upcoming KDE SC 
4.5 Release.

You should be able to use kdepim 4.4 along with the kdepim 4.4 translations 
with 
the rest of KDE SC 4.5; ie. kdepim 4.4 should compile and work with the 
libraries
from kdelibs 4.5 and kdepimlibs 4.5.

We hope to make a production-ready kdepim 4.5 available concurrently with
KDE SC 4.5.1 or KDE SC 4.5.2, depending on how well our beta testing goes.

A first beta for kdepim 4.5 will be tagged and a tarball created (and put on 
the FTP servers)
within the next couple days.  With the second beta due  2 weeks thereafter.

The schedule is (perhaps overly optimistic):
30 Jun:  kdepim 4.5 beta1
15 Jul:  kdepim 4.5 beta2
29 Jul:  kdepim 4.5 rc1
12 Aug: kdepim 4.5 rc2
26 Aug: kdepim 4.5 final  (I believe KDE SC 4.5.1 will also be tagged this day)

Right, there are the facts.  Now can you ensure that we will be able to make 
our own decision about the degree of risk, or do we go elsewhere?
