I agree that the Qt4 packages are shifting to Qt5 packages, but
dropping the Qt4 package directly would be an overkill (I guess there
would be someone out there, who prefers Qt4, and would like to have an
adwaita-qt4 package), in my opinion. I will definitely separate out
both the packages and would drop the Qt4 version when the Qt4 is
removed from the AUR.

Thanks for the info.

I would post a comment for the changes, and submit a deletion request
in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the help. :D
