While I understand the reasons, I want to state that this is going to make 
support a mess.

Both versions are called 4.8.0, but do not contain the same code.

So when someone says "With Qt-4.8.0 I have the following issue", it will never 
be clear which 4.8.0 this is about, we'll have to educate everyone to say in 
addition if this is 4.8.0-LGPL or 4.8.0-Commercial. Couldn't the version 
number be different, when the code is different, instead? E.g. 4.8.0c. That 
doesn't fit into the numerical QT_VERSION, but at least qmake -query and every 
other location which shows a qt version number (packages, qt creator, etc.) 
would show clearly 4.8.0c instead of 4.8.0.
