Because it is not supported upstream anymore, because there is enough work on
the small kde@ team already?

Because qt4 itself is not supported anymore upstream and given the giant beast
that this toolkit is that means, not more bug fixes, no more security fixes,
which we don't want to have to deal with.

I personnally prefer seeing less things in the ports tree but better maintained
than keeping all the things because one dislike "new versions".
