it does.

the "grammar" for anything more complicated is questionable, to say the
least. the behavior in quite some corner cases is bizzare - and because
of backwards compatibility, many things cannot be reasonably fixed.

the code is a complete nightmare, making real maintenance quite tough
work. in particular, getting that thing to be reasonably fast (esp.
under windows) is something nobody managed to do yet.

don't worry, it will be supported at least for the entire qt 4.x series,
of which no end is to be seen yet. we also have no replacement
envisioned - we are simply dissatisfied with the current solution and
are evaluating alternatives.
