[Interest] Future of Qt [was: Future of Qt3d]

[Nikos Chantziaras]

KDAB didn't actually explain anything. AFAICT, there's no statement. 
Just a vague post explaining nothing.

So I'm not sure what the point of asking Qt about it is. You should be 
asking KDAB what their issue is. If they see a problem, they should 
state what that problem is.
