There's is no intended state. There are platforms that the Qt project requires contributors to work on, which are defined per module. Each platform will receive a tier "certification" at release time, based on what testing gets done at that release time. If the Haiku developers want to achieve Tier 2 classification, there will be a list of things for them to do. If they want to achieve Tier 1 classification, there will be a bigger list. The Tier levels are for users to know what they can rely on: does Qt work on that platform and can I count on it to continue working in the medium term. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
