to include it in the actual distro, i.e., oS 12.2, isn't something that those who package the whole distro want to consider at this time, which i find understandable. there's enough trouble with this release as it is, and including KDE 4.9 might / is likely to open another can of worms, delaying the release further.
at the date suggested for 12.2 release, mid September, kde 4.9 would have been out for around 6 weeks... releasing a shiny distro with 4.8.4 (probably end of line) looks bad from both marketing and engineering point of view... As you already mentioned it 4.9 is packaged and tested in parallel already... how would that affect the distro kind of beats me...
