      What the heck are they doing:
      They wanted to phase out 4 and concentrate pushing for kde-5

      Will this be like enlightenment, where you have to mask higher versions to get the new?

          The current work right now is with a new generation of KDE libraries, called "frameworks 5". However, KDE 4 libraries and KDE frameworks 5 libraries can live side-by-side, and applications written for KDE 4 libraries will run just fine in a frameworks 5-based workspace. So the library developers are busy getting frameworks 5 ready, but applications developers are still release kdelibs4 applications, and can continue to do so after frameworks 5 is released next summer. This will allow applications to switch over when they are ready, rather than having everything switch over at once as happened with KDE 4.0.
