I guess my question would be what do we currently "need". Is there a
current need for both x11 & qt/e versions of opie on all archs?
We can provide both x11 & qt/e versions of opie but that of course doubles
the amount of packages. I know we all just love hearing that evil word from
the ftp guys "bloat". :)
