If we want the typical user to not set either qt4 or qt5, are we saying that any package that could use either always enable one of them by default? Then all users get a GUI by default, and then users have to explicitly disable it? That seems to be the opposite of how we normally do things, but it does let you get away from having lots of users turning on qt. Normally we'd just turn them on in a profile, but you can't do this if some packages need qt4, some need qt5, and some fail if both are enabled. -- Rich
