I personally do not think that the reason has been it is not really a Qt library, but the fact that it was the only somewhat usable solution. The serialport usage has always been common enough including the embedded, and this is what Qt users were only able to find before. > But I don't vote for it in any way - all I wanted to do is to report from > a related discussion as far as I can recall it. > Sure, no worries.

We will not drop this support any soon as there are already downstream projects depending on it like my commercial one. Laszlo
