Can't find it anything on qt-development at . Maybe you are referring to this thread on qt-interest

http://www.mail-archive.com/interest@qt-project.org/msg04227.html 

Anyway, the packaging for the binary installers relies on Qt using frameworks, we're documenting them as the preferred way in the documentation, and macdeployqt relies on them too. So changing this for 5.0 sounds like a major change , certainly posing a big risk for 5.0 schedule.

Did your library renaming break anything with Frameworks, or did you just stumble over it?
