I'm just an observer on this thread thus far, but from what I'm reading
in this post, that certainly doesn't sound like a good idea.  

A) You have no idea how good 4.2 really will be.  It could be fraught
with bugs to the glory, usability issues, and whatnot.  This really
sounds like putting the cart before the horse.

B) That proposed new release schedule certainly puts pressure on the
distro release, as it doesn't give us time to truly and fully vet the
effectiveness of KDE 4.2 on 11.1.

I don't see why a repository couldn't be created after 11.1 is released
allowing users who choose to do so to add 4.2 of their own will.  But to
put an entire distro on hold for a version release just doesn't seem to
make much sense, as the distro is a compilation of many things, not just
one thing.
