I think we should always intend to align the reference stack with
whats commonly used in
userbases we target to address with project, we will not be serving
the project goals and its username if we
trim down to packages which are just used for reference, if majority of the
community we intend to address uses QT or any other stack for that matter
then we should align our requirements accordingly which will be mutually
beneficial IMO
