Yes, I saw it, and IIRC I even reacted to it one way or another. So it was Rainer who asked not to install all of Qt into its own prefix, just like I've been advocating all along and am still doing with my port:qt5-kde (and the Qt4 port I'm using locally).

Certain remarks evidently no longer make sense in that they related to resolved issues.
