While the release is still several months away, we would like to provide you with a sneak preview of several key new technologies set to be included in Qt 4.4."

...instead of maintaining their own.
KDE does not and never has maintained their own version of Qt.
KDE 4.0 will use Qt4.3 because this is the version available at this time.
Since Qt4.4 will be available when releasing KDE 4.1, features developed for 4.1 can obviously make use of any new features available in Qt4.4

On the wekit side, the default html engine in KDE4.0 is still khmtl and it is (trying to come up with a nice, non-inflammatory word here) undecided whether or not there will be an eventual switch to webkit from khtml.
As far as the phonon development is concerned trolltech (to their great credit) are contributing directly into the KDE svn tree rather than maintaining their own phonon branch, so KDE already has all of their work in that area available to them (and visa versa of course).
So, of all the other goodness, a fair percentage doesn't really have a KDE implementation so there won't really have to be a point where they stop developing their own code and switch over to TTs or try and maintain parallel branches or anything.

> when will the 4.4 release be integrated with KDE4?
KDE 4.0 is being developed against Qt 4.3 as it is due for release in January, and 4.4 is not expected until the end of Q1 2008. KDE 4 applications developed against 4.3 should work with Qt 4.4 libraries without any source code changes or recompilation since Qt releases are binary compatible during their life-time.
There isn't any "integration" required, so to speak.
