We're now at a point where Qt4 is getting old and Qt5 is "current". At some point we'll have to replace the Qt4 support in [1] with support for Qt5. But we expect users will still want to use Qt4, so if the Qt4 support in [1] is replaced by support for Qt5, the Qt4 support will need to be broken out into its own layer. Qt5 support is currently being developed on it's own layer[3]. This email thread is *not* to discuss when we should replace Qt4 with Qt5, then question is: should [1] include *any* Qt support, or should Qt be always in its own layer to be added as required by the distribution? If we decide [1] should provide some Qt support, then we can discuss when we should replace the Qt4 support with Qt5 in [1]. But for now it would be nice to reach a consensus on whether or not [1] should include any Qt support at all or if it wouldn't just be easier to always have Qt support in its own version-specific layers to be added as required (if needed) by the distribution configuration. Thanks for your feedback.
