Hi there,
I am still not sure if we can move Qt 4.6 to [testing] or even [extra]. In theory it should be comptabile with all previous 4.x releases but my experience tells me that there might be broken things.
So it would be nice if you have a look at my packages and give some feedback. https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre/packages/{i686,x86_64}/

I bumped my local qt installation to your package. So far everything seems to be working just fine (just some basic desktop usage so far), as it did with the previous qt version. Let's see in the next couple of days how it behaves under normal usage.
I know about all this qt source and binary compatibility and such, but do you have any idea about performance? Would recompiling important desktop packages like kdelibs/kdebase have a noticable performance increase or would this be just marginally?

okay I've used it for the past one and a half days on a kde4 desktop I didn't notice any difference with respect to the previous qt 4.5. I opened a bunch of apps, browsed the web, listened to music, watched some videos, looked some pictures. If there is anything specific I should try let me know (above tested on x86_64). Ronald
