I think this is the big point here. if there isn't anyone willing to maintain 
qt3, and someone willing to maintain TDE to the point that it doesn't conflict 
at any point with KDE4 and KDE4 apps.

personally i think that by the time this is well enough tested to be put in to 
core/testing, that TDE will likely have "enough" qt4 support. So, if i was 
someone who used that, i would build it locally for myself and test it 
gradually that way, and not really bother with the whole submission, and 
maintaining of every app... (which is likely alot of work; unless noone uses 
it)
