That's the "Done" state.

QtSvg was in the "Deprecated" camp for two reasons:
 1) there's a more complete implementation of SVG inside WebKit
 2) QtSvg says it implements SVG Tiny 1.2

The second item is important: we can't consider done if we haven't achieved 
full compliancy. Not to mention that any bugs related to being compliant would 
need to be fixed.

That's why it ended up in Deprecated: we actually want people to stop using 
the module.
