7 Okay, so maybe this needs to be delayed. But our basic policy stands:
8 wherever qt3 is an option, this option should now be removed.
9 Obviously, where it would break the stable tree we need to work out
10 solutions first. So maybe we should start doing a more selective
11 package.use.mask.

13 Also, I would like to see a list of packages where this would be a
14 problem. I just filed a new tracker for all packages with qt3 use
15 deps: 299127. Please everyone, file bugs for such packages and let
16 them block this tracker.
