I don't want C++ code in the Emacs distribution. This isn't the sort > of crucial thing that would override that general policy. I believe the intent was to make the existing code be compilable with a C++ compiler without introducing any C++ code per se. My POV on this is that we should make Emacs buildable with as many modern GUI toolkits as practically possible/reasonable, because it is not clear which one(s) of them will remain workable and maintained in the long run. And since many/most of the toolkits and packages we'd like to use or be compatible with are written in C++ (HarfBuzz is a good recent example), we should try making our sources be more friendly to C++ compilers, as much as possible, because not every such package has a C glue, like HarfBuzz does. Therefore, if integration with Qt is reasonably possible, we should not reject it outright. I understand the concerns regarding the license, but we will need to revisit that when GPL's version is advanced, and not sooner. Disabling support for a package that no longer satisfies our requirements is relatively easy.
