Qt is somewhat tricky because of the Nokia repos and Ovi compatibility
requirements (I know a lot of folks couldn't care less about those, but
those are still hurdles when dealing with things on an official level).
There are also questions of just how good compatibility would be (i.e. what
do we do in the autobuilder with software requiring, say, QtQuick 1.1), or
how can we make version switching painless for people using the QtSDK (which
will always track official releases). The best would be, as always, to have
those integrated upstream and let them trickle down through official
channels. Now, while the trickling part is not something I would hold my
breath for in the case of the N900,  I still think it is very important that
we keep things as close/merged with upstream as possible.

Best regards,
Attila
