Not if I have anything to say about it. Nor the hundreds of experienced
engineers inside Nokia and outside that have been developing it for years. You
simply can't stop an Open Source project if people are willing to continue it.

Without a shipped system library, the cost of using a library as large as Qt
is very high. That's exactly the problem that the Qt on Android developers are
facing right now, and also the same that the early Qt for Symbian had: a one-
time download of 10 to 20 MB.
And that's hoping for a decent package management system, not what Symbian
had.
