Reading Kyle's view on Konqueror and KHTML's current status: I couldn't agree more. I use konqueror instead of Firefox because I quite like its GUI, and its integration into KDE is obviously better than Firefox'. Issues with various websites prompt me to have an Iceweasel window open as well quite a large part of the time. Let's just switch to WebKit, so the market only has to care about Gecko and WebKit and can ignore one more marginal rendering engine.

I see libqt-webkit 4.5 is in experimental and a Google query on “debian konqueror webkit” at least shows an Ubuntu packaging effort of the Konqueror WebKit KPart, so the days of khtml on my Desktop are certainly nearing its end.

At this point: Kudos to the KDE folks (Debian and upstream). KDE4.2 is really, really usable, the remaining issues are really small. And, if I don't try to manually interfer like I did in my first attempt, migrating the KDE settings from ~/.kde4 to ~/.kde actually did work just fine on my netbook.

"Kudos to the KDE folks (Debian and upstream" Full ack, the packaging team did an *outstanding* job. And the base material (upstream) is promising and even starts to deliver...

I think the market already pretty much ignores this rendering engine so I don't see that as a reason to kill KHTML. But I'm a Konqueror fan and any further improvement is well appreciated.
