I still think it's really important to note the meaning of "Can't" here. "Can't" IMO should still really mean cannot -- that setting both flags is going to cause a problem that'll break the system, conflicts that will cause things to not work. This whole qt4/qt5 discussion isn't about "can't", but about "doesn't." -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iF4EAREIAAYFAlXLWoAACgkQAJxUfCtlWe2GAwD/dgkq8Iyd4njMd2tAvO8zWVOr JddKwKnUxMxT4haGYDYBAIxIQbT5BM3+iHkNWXF8nKm6GXukNKqUODhZl3eNRoUi =kAZd -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
