Its even worse: if Qt fixes a bug in an inline function, no application will 
benefit unless recompiled, either. So for any Qt user, and esp. distros, not 
recompiling all users of Qt when Qt changes runs the risk of not getting some 
of the bug fixes, leading to users seeing those bugs together with Qt versions 
in which they're officially fixed.
