I'm all for a new category (specific naming scheme to be bikeshedded, no preference there), but I think dropping the qt- prefix will lead to overly generic/already existing package names: "gui" "declarative" "dbus" "core" "opengl" etc. I don't see any value from dropping the prefix that would justify this.
