I don't know the lifetime of RHEL3, but I know the one of SLES9.
And I know the changes from LSB 3.0 to LSB 3.1. SLES9 cannot be
certified for LSB 3.1 already because of too many library changes.
And compared with the time we need to get LSB 3.2 on the road, to
do the certifications and for ISV to implement their applications,
I doubt that SLES9 is a topic at that time at all anymore.

So I don't see here an issue with old distributions and QT4.
