QT isn't the default toolkit in Maemo and it was only introduced at
all in the PR1.2 release which only came out around 3-4 months ago so
its not a core part of their UI experience on maemo.
So that's not really a good argument for upgrading it in F-13.
Also, I'd assume that Maemo explictily ships/supports a much smaller set
of software than Fedora, so they can explicitly list all their dependencies
that may need fixed.
