I wonder whether a future KDE 4.x couldn't toss out a number of its own libraries and subsystems because they are now natively provided by Qt.

Not that I know anything about this, but: It would be simpler yes.

On the other hand, the KDE libs are GPL/LGPL but Qt is only GPL (or proprietary). In practice it doesn't make much of a difference, since you have Qt as the only alternative for the KDE libs anyway. So maybe they will, who knows.
