Ok, then it is not missing, but I miss it :-) Still that policy will probably become if not a problem, then at least something uncomfortable: with each new application being ported to kde4 and not being included in lenny, one would have to get it from experimental. But I'm not saying you should do all that work of packing all kde4-programms. Would they be included in the normal backports? If not, the idea of using lenny + kde4 will always be a mix of kde3 + 4 with some programs not working or not integrating completely in kde4.
