Somewhat amusingly, the LSB list this week is discussing removing Qt3 from the next version of the LSB, because apps will have had 6 years to migrate to Qt4, and "6 years are enough for all Qt3 apps to disappear. 6 years are ages in IT." (I'd love these guys to meet the customers still running OpenLook apps on current Solaris that they compiled on Solaris 2.4 in 1995.)
