I don't know. What do others think? Do we go all-in and drop Qt4 and do
all the clean up now to simplify the code? That would indeed feel nice.

Or do we leave it as is, and just officially not support Qt4, so that if
some (from what I understand, theoretical) person really wants to
compile with Qt4, with some hacks to the current code they might have a
chance?
