Should kdelibs Be Merged with Qt?

Ambition. Too little, and you stagnate. Too much, and you end up stumbling. Keep this in mind. KDE4 was, and is, a very brave and ambitious effort, and while in my personal opinion they’ve still got a long way to go, especially in the performance department (I regained some hope lately), they’re getting there. Imagine my surprise that after the recently announced overhaul of Plasma, a rather wild idea has popped up that would mean Qt5 and KDE5 – assuming the idea gets enough support, of course.
