Well, it's not the same. You want to be able to port away from Qt3support / kdelibs4support at some point, to stop linking to it.

On the other hand, you need to keep calling kdelibs4migrator for the entire 5.x lifetime, since you can't know at which point the last users will switch. So you don't want such code in a compatibility library that you're trying to stop linking to.
