But this would have:
- made the porting effort to KF5 even greater, for all the existing code
- made it impossible to move classes between frameworks
  (we've had the issue with <QtGui/QLabel> in Qt4 being <QtWidgets/QLabel> in Qt5.
   The obvious way to not hit such issues is to make it <QLabel> everywhere, which
   is now indeed the recommended way).

These are the reasons why Qt decided on <QLineEdit> and we decided on <KLineEdit>.

Get your kdelibs4 headers out of the way and everything will be fine :)
