This is in a section about updating to YP2.0. That version is not
affected, and will continue to carry Qt4 packages.

But you probably do want to add a note to a similar section about moving
to YP2.1. Something along these lines:

"Qt4 recipes and classes have been removed in YP 2.1 because Qt4.x has
reached end of life upstream. For legacy applications and LSB compliancy
purposes Qt4 can be found in meta-qt4 repository, and for any new
development Qt5 is available at meta-qt5 repository(provide links to
both)."

Should be removed, also remove the preceding qmake* section.

Should be removed.

Should be removed.

There are also a few references to Qt in general in the same manual (e.g.
recipes-qt, COMMERCIAL_QT, do_generate_qt_config), those should be removed
as well. Let me know if you need specific guidance for them, or I can
review your documentation patch.

Thanks,
