Unlikely.
This is exactly what I don't understand, would the same apply should
Fedora be based on QT and KDE for those packages too, then?

Thats a question for the development lists.
I guess I'll post this on the desktop mailing list rather than the
main devel list, as it is a direct desktop issue more than a
distro-wide issue (well... mostly).
It would be better to ask in the development lists or the
maintainer.

Ahh, I read about this discussion som weeks ago, and I was kind of
surprised, actually.

From the development as well as user perspective, what applies to
package X does not always apply to package Y.
I understand that's not always the case, is just that the recent move
to KDE 3.5 and no next GNOME packages got me thinking. That's all.
