Since TDE now uses TQt3, the old Qt3 libraries (unmaintained as they are!)
can be installed at the same time as TDE. At this point I don't see any
serious drawbacks to changing the TQt API; would anyone consider it a
major problem if Trolltech had changed the Qt3 API? We all probably would
have complained about it a bit and then moved on--how is this different
from the TDE project *improving* Qt3/TQt3 (e.g. adding proper threading
support) and changing the API as needed?

I watch over Trinity project for as long as 3
years. I want to give my
grade on its development activity. I think that the project is not
capable of public use and rather suited for small group of inside
hackers.
Strictly speaking, this is not true I've talked to a couple people who are
using trinity and not subscribed to the developer mail list ;-)
Although I'm not sure if there are any other such people anywhere...
Along the history of development there were too much lame
unprofessional decisions. It was fulfilling some strange unpractical
ideas. In fact, it came to a logical unsuccessful end.
I believe you are speaking about qt3 API breakage. If so, I'm totally
agree
with you... IMO that was really crappy choice independently of reasons. I
can name some other controversial moments but they are relatively small...
