The mobility stack was removed because it was buggy and had a handful of 
rdeps, which we've got to remove. If it had just a few rdeps then it's not 
that needed, and the same could be said for the multimedia stack.

Qt4 is dead upstream in all senses. So a non upstream-supported stack is 
indeed a very good reason to avoid reintroducing it to the archive.

This sounds like a good reason to start with the porting :)

Sorry, but if you really need the multimedia bits you should really consider 
using Qt5.

Kinds regards, Lisandro.
