No. This is just guessing from me.

And I should be comparing the relative importance of the subsystems. 
Almost all applications today are networked. How many print?

Think kdegames, kdetoys, kdeedu applications.

Let me make it clear: I am not saying printing is not important or that we 
can ignore it. I am merely justifying why other areas of Qt got more 
attention. I thought that would be a no-brainer.
