+
+Just let me summarize the whole discussion from my point of view:
+There are (at least) 2 users how would be happy to have qt3-devel in the 
+mageia repos (to compile software more easy on there local machines).
+One of them volunteers itself to become the maintainer of this package 
+and asked if there are any concerns about it.
+
+Possible concerns are:
+qt3 is deprecated and they (mageia developer) don't wont to have 
+software build on it in the repos, because they don't want the mageia 
+users to use deprecated software.
+-> But both users don't ask for having software which builds on it to 
+have in the repos. Right?
+
+One possible concern which gets in my mind is:
+To mess the repos with unsophisticated packages which probably is only 
+used by very few users, which lets the repos grow to much.
+-> But I don't think there are many of such packages, that this can be 
+become acute.
+
+So, IMHO I don't really get the point why it should be a problem if 
+Tux99 agrees to maintain this package.
+
+The whole debate about TDE is something different and shouldn't 
+influence this discussion.
+

+Thorsten
