I don't see why high priority Qt 4.x bugs shouldn't still be fixed in Qt 
4.8.x if possible, even if they're not reproducible in Qt 5. Although, 
if fixing it would require big design changes or new API, I can 
potentially see why it would be closed.

I don't really think it's module dependent (apart from taking the module 
maturity level into account when deciding on priorities).
