(only my reply was the first to cc: release-team, but was not clear to me in 
any case)

Hm, but that means that everybody who packages KDE SC does so, and I am not 
sure too many will be happy to diverge more from upstream, not only because of 
the extra maintenance needed.

So ideally we deal with that directly in KDE code, so it is consistently 
handled at a central place. Thus my proposal patch at 
http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/110563/ ("hide symbols from static lib 
QtUitools.a (generically by new macro KDE4_HIDE_SYMBOLS_FROM_STATIC_LIBS)" 
which I would really love to get in for 4.10.4 (tomorrow) + a related patch to 
kdebindings. So please give that patch another review today!
