Ok, so this is the first time I'm watching this (i.e. package upgrade
like this) happen for Gentoo - or really any distro since I use to just
grab the stuff from original source and install it based on latest
stable, pretty much ignoring the package management systems. (Yeah, I
used Slackware; now converted to Gentoo.)

Any how...I'd like to play with KDE4 - namely for Dolphin as Konquerer
drives me nuts for file system stuff, but I'm not wanting to do an
overlay (at least, not yet - may be after I've used Gentoo for a while
longer on my desktop). So I was wondering what kind of time frame would
be likely for getting KDE4 to be pushed to testing and then to open
availability. A couple months? Just curious.

I noticed it finally showed up as a hard mask.

TIA,

Ben
