I had discussed about such kind of things with the maintainer of at-spi1
in the past, and the answer was a clear "come on, it's really small
dependencies by nowadays' standards, and not using them would mean
reimplementing convenience functions such as utf-8 handling, list
handling, etc.". So this is mostly a no-go.

Sure, but python-pyatspi can't know whether there are some qt
applications or not.

Again, what is the *actual* gain of introducing such hack? Saving 25MiB
worth of disk space, really?
