6 I don't think there is an established timetable for this, and I am certainly
7 not the one to set it up, or decide where to put the dead ebuilds. We just go
8 through qt4 revdeps, of which there are a lot, check the upstream status and
9 weed out the hopeless cases first. At some point I guess Qt4 will be broken/
10 blocking stabilisation of deps that it simply has to go, together with
11 whatever is still left depending on it. kdelibs4 will be kicked much sooner
12 than that, you may want to pay attention to that, and it will be moved to kde-
13 sunset. You can find various trackers around qt4-removal and revdep'ing
14 libraries on b.g.o.
