The name is actually the simplest possible, and yes, our goal is to switch to
qt4-r2 in the end (which I mentioned at the end of my first mail). So in
general, once qt4-r2 is in, no one should use qt4.eclass.
We had several name options, e.g. qt4-tng but qt4-r2 seemed the most
straightforward. plus -r2 adds the Gentoo flavor, hence is better than e.g.
qt4-v2 :)
That said, we want qt4-r2 to be a new eclass for Qt-based ebuilds. And we
can't just make changes to qt4.eclass since there are too many ebuilds using
it and we would surely break the tree.
Cheers,
Dominik
