We will keep Rosegarden and any other app that is maintained upstream in

I do not
see this as a bad thing. I think arguing that using Qt4 over
Qt3 is not enough to keep a program around. A toolkit is simple what
the program utilizes to display things, it doesn't have much to do
with functionality... which leads to my next point.
