I think it’s fairly relevant as a response to a claim that Qt on Mac works fine 
on existing/previous Qt versions, when that’s not entirely the case. At the 
very least, we may have different definitions of the term “works fine”.

It is another topic, a topic which I’ve tried to raise on this list before with 
very limited interest, much like my recent letter to Digia on the same topic.

Anyways. Thanks for the responses - I’ll leave the subject before I get too 
unpopular ;-)
