I explained the reasons in detail back then. If this is not some random
accusation and you are really interested why this was no option anymore go
read the archives (thread "Random Notes").

You still don't get it. All your arguments including this one and that in
your other mail are based on the assumption that there were only two
alternatives: full support or removal from trunk. Under this premise I
agree completely with the removal, but that is not what has been requested.

There was a third alternative that would have solved almost all problems:
Keep it in trunk (with no obligation of anyone to touch it), and let those
who care do the work to keep it up to date. With that alternative all your
arguments are moot.
That alternative would of course not have guaranteed that 1.5.0 would be
released with qt3. Maybe it would indeed have been too much work to keep it
up to date, and it would have been abandoned, but this would then have been
the decision of _those who where doing the work_. What happened instead is
that _you_ dictated that those should stop or jump through some extra
hoops.

I am not demanding anyone to agree with my view of the importance (or
nonimportance) of the qt3 frontend. I am neither denying the fact that
there where some reasons for removal, and that several developers where in
favour to remove it. I am however demanding that nobody is perverting the
facts.
