The second sentence or he first?

Concerning the first, depending on what happens qt3 may be a main
toolkit too...

Not sure.

This is where I disagree. We are not discussing the terms of a divorce
in front of lawyers. When I found problems with qt4 menu checked
boxen, I fixed them, because I knew how to do that. Not being a victim
of the old developers cabal does not mean be a lone cowboy.

Three points:

1. who is going to do that? I still got no offer.

2. when proposed more liberty about qt4, your first reaction is to
   demand 4.2 only (which will probably become 4.3 only by the time
   1/5 is released) 

3. As Edwin said "there is no free lunch".
