Re: Deprecating Old Amarok Versions

In general I think a policy of deprecating Qt4-only software makes sense. Qt4 has been or is being removed from distros and nobody supports it anymore. Apps that didn't get ported after all these years are, for all intents and purposes, abandoned and dead. We can un-deprecate them if anyone

Deprecating Old Amarok Versions
