Hi Max, so why dump it? I can see a few reasons why you might
propose that:

1) You think it's a dead end because QtJambi is dead, so it would
be problematic to move it forward with new versions of Qt
2) There are some problems with the architecture of the binding
that you're aware of that would prevent it from working reliably

For (1), I think even only having 4.8 is still a real asset. I
don't know the code base really well (but spent a fair amount of
time with it, and know the PyQt technology fairly well too) so
can't speak to (2) but if you had specific concerns it would be
very interesting to know what they were.

 From my testing it seems to me that a lot is working, enough to
write useful GUIs in it - tell me what I'm missing (a lot, I
know, but is anything really fatally flawed)?
