We didn't start adding them until post 4.0. I don't think 3.x had the tag at 
all and APIs new in 4.0 weren't marked as such either. That means the furthest 
back we can go is 4.0. Qt 3 to 4 was also a massive update, so I don't think 
it would be useful to go that far back anyway. Qt 4.0 will be 20 years old 
next year.



Speaking of removing (or not removing) old Qt 4 stuff, we still have
src/tools/uic/qclass_lib_map.h in the repository. This file was added by commit 
4b3498e9407dfef6a2a76dec51de48af99132b91 (which is dated over 3 months before 
the first public commit) and Marius S-O wrote:

    Add hardcoded qclass_lib_map.h based on 4.8
    
    This is only until UIC/Designer handles this properly

Permanent temporary...
