There won't ever be a "KDE 5" because "KDE" is not the name of software. KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5) will be released in summer as part of the regular 6-months cycle (replacing current KDE Platform 4.x) and Plasma Workspaces 4.9 (KPW) will depend on KF5. That's the current plan, anyway. > KDE/Qt5 will appear on real desktops after most applications are > ported. Will this year or more? No idea.

You seem totally disconnected from core development and seem to fill in the gaps in your information with guessing (I suggest subscribing to kde-core-devel). KPW 4.9 based on KF5 will be included in all distributions following regular spring/fall releases as part of the fall 2012 release cycle (Kubuntu in October, Fedora in November,...). Canonical is currently even planning to include Qt 5 with Ubuntu 12.04 and ship a Unity version based on that (they don't want 5 years of maintenance burden for deprecated Qt 4.x). openSUSE 12.2 (ETA July 2012) will at least include Qt 5, although probably not KF5. Users of rolling release distributions (Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed, ...) will get Qt 5, KF5, and KPW 4.9 as soon as they get released. So yeah, many users will get Qt5/KF5 pretty soon. I don't think it would be wise to do any Calligra release after summer 2012 that requires Qt 4.
