But this is the whole problem!
I cannot add support to smartcard when you use QtSslSocket, since it
cannot perform negotiation using external (hardware based) keys.

So I am not confused after all.

Adding smartcard support into KDE requires all crypto components to be
able to process hardware cryptography. Implementing TLS/SSL with a
component that cannot, makes the whole integration impossible.
