13 While both Plasma 4 and even Qt 4 are end-of-life upstream, I don't
14 think they're going anywhere quite yet. There's no pressing need to
15 remove it yet, and there's still a long way to go in terms of porting in
16 the Qt ecosystem in general.

18 When it is eventually removed, I also don't see any reason why Qt 4 and
19 KDE 4 can't go to the kde-sunset overlay along with 3.
