Beside the fact that yes, it happens sometimes that you want to rebuild only one of them, and doing 'emerge gui' is nasty enough, what about dbus? emerge dbus -> which one did you mean now? Yes there's a category, but that's not a good reason to artificially make it more complicated. I'm pretty sure that if a consensus is to be found, it is that 'qt' as a category name, and dropping the 'qt-' prefix, is not seen with favour by other people beside you and whoever you discussed this with. I would thus ask you to drop that idea. Some of us, including me, are also wondering why a separate category is needed =E2=80=94 while you might be over the median, it doesn't mean it'= s that much more compelling =E2=80=94 indeed my feeling is that it would be a= n useless small category, especially if you only want to keep the core and it won't ever grow. But I won't stop you if it's going to be qt-core/qt-core as package name.
