There are currently no plans that I am aware of to make MTF part of Qt. In
order to accomplish that, a couple of other requirements might be imposed on
the framework, like building on Symbian and other platforms, which would
probably slow down development at this point.
Unfortunately, from experience, if you don't take cross-platformness into
account from the beginning, bolting it on top is a lot harder. (Qt's rule of 3
implementations: the first to implement, the second to correct, the third to
validate)
However, MTF is part of a larger ecosystem of Qt-based solutions that solve
specific needs, particularly MeeGo's. It's in this spirit that it should be
taken.
Also, given its current use in the development of applications and core
components, third-parties can rely on its presence.
But I also agree with Sean that it needs to move into an open governance model
eventually, like I'm driving for Qt. (it's slow-going, but it's going)
