When is the release date of Qt 4.8 and will it have the KDE issues
(font rendering and crashes) fixed?

Ioni has a point here though. Having packages in testing for too long
tends to block other packages and rebuilds. So as a rule of thumb I
would suggest that we don't put packages into testing that we wont
release to extra as-is. This is esp. the case for beta software or
release candidates.

So right, if the release of Qt 4.8 is unknown we might be better off to
revert this changes or move them to kde-unstable which is depends on
testing anyway.
