We didn't "aggressively remove" it; Qt4 was already a long time EOLed when
we started to prune reverse deps. The same process which also happens/
happened for many other outdated and security relavant libs, think OpenSSL 1.0.
Talk is cheap if you're not the one who has to deal with the consequences
(like backporting security fixes to an unsupported release)
Cheers,
