Yes this is a cost of longer time support; I if sometimes have to even
copy-paste (or rewrite) new code from Qt or elsewhere, I consider
taking this step during the active development of the core features
instead of shortening the time of support. At cost of beautifulness of
the code, flexibility and efficiency.

So let me rephrase this: could we publicly declare minimum Qt/KDElibs
version for certain applications e.g in README.PACKAGERS? And for
KOfficelibs. These numbers are not equal for all apps as I can see.
Not only packagers but people that compile apps can also benefit.
