Already some won't be able to migrate to 5.0. Some will need to wait anyway for various reasons (eg X11 stuff). Waiting for phonon too isn't a big deal. > No, two phonons is a terrible idea :) However, it's the better of two evils, > were we currently have no migration path from Qt 4 phonon users to the > current upstream.

Expert users can get the qtphonon.git themselves and use that. For everyone else, there's upstream, and that's the future anyway, whether they ever migrate to qt-project or not.
