Well, I was hoping I could get a newer version of KDE 4 that would 
actually DO something.  lol

Which doesn't do what I need for it to be usable?

I already have kde-sunset and I still get those messages.  I don't know 
if it is because it is leaving portage or if it is even being removed 
from kde-sunset.  I just know I get them and it increases each time I sync.

I know this, KDE has left a really bad taste in my mouth with how they 
handled this release.  They should have supported KDE 3 until KDE-4.5, 
or at least KDE 4.4 was out and stable.  Right now, I can't go a day in 
KDE 4.  I'm always running into something that doesn't "work" yet.

This isn't as bad as hal but it's dang close.
