The only guarantee you'll get is the one in the Qt 5.0 mission statement: it's 
mostly source-compatible with Qt 4, except for API and classes long 
deprecated. And even then there's a lot of discussion about simply moving 
those classes to a separate library you can import into your code to keep it 
working.

QtSvg and QtXml are in the 5.0 sources today and will most likely remain 
there. No one has suggested removing them.

But understand that no one will fix bugs in them either.
