Been waiting for this for a couple of days now. 'git pull' time.
Worth noting is this comment from Greg on his announcement of the 4.4.1-stable review process:

There are still a lot of pending stable patches in the queue, well over 400 of them to be specific, so some of your favorite/pet patches might not be included in these releases. Please be patient as I dig out from this backlog over the next few weeks. If there are specific patches that you just _must_ have included in a stable release soon, please let me know.
...which suggests we'll likely be seeing 4.4.2/3/4 in fairly quick succession sometime over the next few weeks or so.
No. This has already been stated by AlienBOB if you follow his blog. Furthermore such a big change is very unlikely after a beta has been released.
PS Sorry I mistakenly read "KDE 5". Actually I really don't know.
There's no good reason to add Qt5 at this point. It would become relevant of some of the software in Slackware migrates from Qt4 to Qt5 (think KDE4 -> Plasma5) but I do not see that happening.
especially since the next LTS version of Qt will be 5.6 which is not released today. I think next month, but there have been several delays in 5.6.
of course the 5.6 would be nice to have and I hope the KDE devs will be sane enough (have doubts) to support this and do not hunt for the latest greatest features,

I understand, thanks. I decided to ask after it took over 11 hours for qt5 to build in a VM...

If you're not opposed to using pre-compiled binaries from (what should be considered) trusted sources, Eric has done the work of compiling qt5 for you...
