What do you expect us to do? Ship an older QT version instead of the
newer one so that skype works? And while we're at it don't ship the
current x-server so that nvidia and ati-binary-drivers work (no - I
don't care if they currently work - this is just an example).

If proprietary apps work with Fedora - great. If they don't - it's up to
the application vendor to fix, not Fedora.
