[Qt-interest] What is likely to be in Qt 4.8?

  It is *ALWAYS* possible that my conclusion is flawed. ;-)
  And I'll be the first to acknowledge that.

  But I've been around in the industry long enough to have
  a pretty good understanding of how corporations approach
  "ramp-downs" of products and entire product lines.

  Thank you! Carry on! And best of luck! But keep my advice
  (to always know where the closest exit is) in mind as you
  go forward.

Hello Atlant

I fully understand that. I've been told the same thing by many others, from
all kinds of background.

But your words are quite insightful: you're saying that "the business logic of
the situation". Now think about this:

1) you've come to a logical conclusion based on the facts and information
available to you

2) you do not have all facts

Therefore, is it possible that your conclusion is flawed?

Anyway, the problem here isn't logic. I can tell you all day long that Nokia
has plans that do make sense and it's not going to change a thing. You've lost
trust in Nokia management and you have no proof of what I'm saying. This is an
impasse I cannot break for you right now.

What I have been doing for you and others is to get Nokia management to give
you said proof and start rebuilding the trust that you lost: actions speak
louder than words. This is basically *all* I've been doing for the past two
weeks, including full-time dedication to seeing Open Governance happen soon.
