You will find that very few deployments out there in the real world use 
qtchooser. The widely-used RHEL most definitely does not, it inherits the 
exact same Qt setup Fedora uses. (In fact, the maintainers from Red Hat were 
also against using qtchooser in Fedora.) Operating systems other than 
GNU/Linux also do not use qtchooser. So doing away with it would only make 
the world more uniform.

You, the Qt Project, need to accept that qtchooser has just not caught on, 
it was an attempt that turned out a failure, and needs to be replaced by a 
better and much simpler solution (just renaming the binaries).
