Holger and I have talked about this on the linuxtag yesterday and came to the
same conclusion. We haven't got a statement from Richard yet, so we will wait,
what he plans are.
If he agrees with this too, we will let the qt2 port as it is in the moment and
concentrate on the qt3 port (and will update the roadmap).
If someone really needs a qt2 port, he can backport the qt3 sources.

The main reasons starting with qt2 was the lower complexitivity as qt3, which
allows shorte linking time and the possibility to study the internal behavior of
the noncommercial qt2.3 release.
