Yep, for `master` that is certainly true.

For `morty` & `pyro` though, meta-qt4 could keep working by using icu-native.

The source of this issue being qt4's general incompatibility with C++
11 (we build with c++98 because of build errors with the newer std)
makes me wonder if it will even be possible to continue supporting qt4
going forward.

This may turn out like the openssl conflicts in that we'll need to
disable qt4's use of icu entirely.

I should give you a heads up: we (the yocto project) are going to remove qt4 builds from the autobuilder altogether, sometime during this cycle. The repo will stay, and patches will be accepted though.

So it's up to you to solve these issues, but I wouldn't want to take
patches that fix up older releases, while the master branch remains broken. We have a 'master first' policy :)
