[Interest] QtSVG deprecated

[Jason H]

So what we need is not new code, just a new label.
Seems easier to add a label then to re-engineer the module.

You're welcome to do it, but if no one steps up, it will remain in Deprecated 
state. That includes not fixing any bugs except for crashes and data loss and 
not porting to new platforms.

There was no "not maintained" state when we published the list back in May: 
everything is maintained by someone, even if reluctantly. There is still no 
such state.
