Or, from another perspective, it means more time for the devs to figure 
out/fix the bugs that result from the switch and to stabilize MythTV on 
QT4--not to mention letting the packagers come up to speed on properly 
packaging MythTV on QT4--before getting tons of invalid bug reports that 
are due to system configuration errors.  :)
