[Interest] QtSVG deprecated

[Alex Malyushytskyy]

As somebody mentioned above svg is the great way to create scalable graphics
which currently works an all platforms including icons (but not
limited to icons).

Would you advice adding  webkit dependency for such purpose?

There is a huge difference between not actively adding new futures and
keeping code alive
updating it if necessary,

Status of "No maintained because we consider it complete" would be
fine if it did not assume
stopping bug fixes.

As I understand "No maintained" and "Done" state should have a core
difference - second assumes bug fixes and updates for new platforms if
necessary.

Why would not allow people to maintain it?

Regards,

Alex
