CentOS5 and RHEL5 both have qt3 as part of the stock install (although it
does look like qt4 is available).  CentOS6 and RHEL6 seem to have qt4 as
default, with pyqt as well.

Personally, I see no real reason to get rid of it quite yet as it doesn't
seem to be much of a support burden -- yet.  If anything, we might want to
consider putting deprecation notices for that backend in the next release.
