Implemented in trunk and planned to be backported. The trunk implementation only has auto-hide, did you use the manual hide buttons?
Only manual hide. A constantly visible taskbar is useful if you are jumping between apps a lot (web, mail, OpenOffice...) but it is annoying if you spend a lot of time in one program. So I switch visibility manually, depending on what I am currently doing.

Go vote on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155150 . Currently KDE 4.2 is a way off feature freeze, so there is still time to get things like this re- added.
Haven't used KDE4 for a while, but now I know what people mean when they complain about essential features that are still missing. I guess I'll give it another try when 4.2 is out.
I don't give much weight to the 'extra libraries' argument on a general purpose desktop or laptop though. On a SSD-based netbook, sure. However disk space and ram being what they are, the extra cruft (a few tens of Mb) involved in installing KDE 3 and KDE 4 in parallel is no great increase over the bloat we all have from having OpenOffice, Mozilla, Eclipse and maybe a couple of g* apps installed.
Hopefully, the developers of said programs do not think the same. People would be rather surprised if Eclipse required both Java 5 and Java 6 to run and the devs said "no great increase over the bloat we all have from having KDE...".
