This would be the group for the Razor-Qt desktop environment, but first we
should get that packaged in Fedora.
1. RazorQt is in queue - right after last qt-app (qxkb) will be reviewed.
2. There are some (many) problems with licensing. But... I'll start packaging tomorrow. 3. RazorQt has no _direct_ relation to other qt apps - as KDE or Gnome with their DE-wide "services" (like kio/gnome-vfs, DnD etc). Maybe (in future) it will (e.g. system-wide qt icon theme, VFS, DnD) - but this need patching qt.
I agree that having a group of Qt-only apps without a matching workspace is
not very helpful.

FWIW, some of those apps might actually be interesting in the KDE group, but
most of the stuff I've seen going through review so far only duplicates
existing KDE apps (but using only Qt unlike the KDE equivalent), so the KDE
group is the wrong place to put them.
Qt applications not depends on kdelibs.
And now there is no easy way to choose application set without kdelibs and gtk.

But - yes, I agree that my arguments are not enough to create top-level package group. Qt environment is not all-sufficient yet.
And will not in nearest future :-(
