Because these platforms constitute big "standards" for development of
a complex system, in which a Qt GUI is just a piece in the puzzle. At
the same time, people would like to get all the latest benefits and
features of a product which is still evolving at a rapid pace (2
releases per year).

Deprecate or drop them? From the C++11 thread I understood they will
be completely dropped due to lack of compilers.
