That was an ironic way of saying that there's a lot of good things inside the 
KDE libraries, so (the next paragraph's message) you should be glad that some 
of it is finding its way to Qt 5.

That said, I don't follow your reasoning. KDE applications run outside of KDE 
just fine, so linking to the KDE libs does, by itself, exclude those other 
environments.
