"Will KDE4 be released for F7, F8?

Yes and no. 

Yes, KDE4 Development Platform packages are available, which provide the
ability build and run KDE4 applications. 

No, a full KDE4 Desktop is not available for previous releases, and will
included only in F9 and on."

So you don't have a KDE4 desktop in any way. And the kde4 packages you
have interfere in no way with your kde3.
