+iirc, it was mentioned somewhere that qt3 (without devel) was only submitted
+to satisfy the lsb requirements (which are ridiculously unrealisticly outdated
+imho, but there is talk of upgrading).
+
+I read this as: 'we just put it there, but noone even tested it to see if it's
+actually working', it might as well have been an empty package or not there.
+
+i think that during this huge (boring) thread to me, this has been
+misunderstood a few times.
+
+as some people mentioned:
+- make TDE build and run well locally (because TDE obviously is what you want,
+and it does give a good test-run on qt3 on almost all parts)
+- co-install it with KDE4 and make it both run very well
+- discuss with current maintainers/packagers/your mentor of qt3 how to
+support/maintain this (i suspect there is no real maintainer, but check the
+commit logs who worked on it).
+- after all these steps (quite a bit of work), start committing your stuff and
+submitting to core/testing
+- organize a few testers to test it out
+- move to core/release
+
+I don't think anyone disagrees with these steps, if they do, you could have
+packaging leaders/council decide on this.
+(IMHO, it would be nice to test this procedure of council decisions, i would
+love to see this happening)
+
+I suspect due to the freeze that this will hit cauldron after mageia release 1
+
+good luck
