--- Comment #10 from Kevin Kofler <kevin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ---
IMHO, a bundling exception for something as large as Qt is not realistic
either. How do you plan to maintain that fork?

I see only 3 possibilities (with the reservation that I am not the one to make
the decision on bundling exceptions, the FPC is):
a) Upstream wkhtmltopdf gets their Qt changes upstreamed into upstream Qt.
b) Upstream finds a way to make wkhtmltopdf work without modifying the entire
Qt (maybe by forking selected 1 or 2 classes – the fewer classes, the more
likely it is to get a bundling exception in Fedora).
c) The package cannot go into Fedora (or only with all the features that
require a patched Qt disabled).
