However, with some more research, we may find 4.7, or even 4.8, reasonable. On the Mac side of things, I think William has routinely shipped QGIS with the most recent stable version of Qt 4 at the time. The nightly is also built that way. Currently on Mac OS X 10.6-9 this would be Qt 4.8.5. For OSGeo4W, it looks like the x86 installer provides 4.7.1, while the x86_64 installer is at 4.8.5 [1].

In fact, I think it is very important to investigate what moving to an entire QGIS GUI built upon QML would take (or if it is even possible, yet). And personally, I see Digia focusing most of its energy in QML, though I think Qt Wdigets have at least a good 5-year "shelf life." Side note: new Ubuntu Touch OS (to be installable on many Android tablets) runs QML natively for its GUI [2].
