There's a significant enough use case for wanting only qt3 or only qt4 |
| 10 |
on your system that it might be worth considering it. |

Agreed on this. So right now, we've got a couple of options. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
- Use case is user wants program with its best qt. USE=qt is an easy |
| 21 |
option. The other option is USE="qt3 qt4", and apps should always pick |
| 22 |
the best of the enabled qt versions if they are mutually exclusive. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
- Use case is avoiding installing either qt3 or qt4. Impossible with |
| 25 |
USE=qt, possible with USE="qt3/qt4". |
