It has been deactivated traditionally because earliert GCC (I think < 4.0) 
introduced runtime overhead even when no exception was raised.

If this has improved it might be interesting to see how other Qt dependent 
code reacts to the change, notably KDE

I would guess that any code assuming no exception policy might crash in 
situation it would have otherwise handled gracefully.
