Because the objective wasn't to change the binaries. The objective was to 
streamline the development process and allow each module to work under 
different schedules.

This also allows us to implement Open Governance, where each module has a head 
maintainer (who doesn't have to be a Troll).

Breaking up libraries isn't Modularisation. It's Qt 5.

Those are good reasons. But we can't do them before Qt 5.
