I also don't know how this is bad news, unless it was addressed to
KDE-developers who like KDE libraries, etc.  The point in going to Qt
is that there will be official support for such builds as Windows, Mac
OS X, Linux, etc without requiring the person to actually install all
of the KDE dependencies for those platforms (KDE4 is to run on those
other platforms, officially on Mac starting with 4.1.0 is the plan,
not sure of the roadmap for Windows, etc).  Since the KDE dependencies
are pretty hefty, getting down to Qt-only seems desirable.  Don't
worry, I don't believe there's any plan to abandon Linux.
