I'd say that's a good thing, it saved having to change every ebuild |

depending on qt to depend on || (qt qt-meta) and is the same way the |

transition to split XOrg packages was handled. Te -meta addition to the |

KDE package names was a necessary kludge, because the split builds lived |

alongside the monolithic variants. |
