Of course, because the person who did almost all of the interface changes (Abdel, I don't count the changes that were done by a script) complained every few days that he had to care for other frontends when he was still supposed to care, and he was really tired of caring.
I plead guilty :-)
The most obvious reaction to declaring qt3 unsupported would of course have been "Oh nice, now that I don't have to care about this crap anymore that really annoyed me I will enjoy to do it voluntarily".
It sure would have stopped me crying if the beast was just declared unsupported. Others maybe not...
Do I really have to tell you that not wasted resources are not automatically available for something else?
I am glad that you say that ;-)
I have learned my lesson. If I will fix a bug in my branch I will no more bring it to lyx-devel, since it only results in frustration.
Why that? The two subjects are unrelated AFAIS.
And the rest of you should better get a consensus on the goals for 1.6 rather soon and then stick to that (even those who do not fully support each goal).
My opinion is that we already have a bunch of new features. So, we should do a bit more cleaning, implement context menu and cleanup some dialogs (spellchecker first of all); then soft freeze the trunk in a month or two. XML can wait for the next round IMHO because we obviously don't have enough people caring for now.
