Apparently not so clear. Lucid is not the point. It that it's just breaking
something w/o achieving anything else. And that's essentially the only thing
it does.
QGIS currently works with earlier versions. That (tiny) change could be part
of a larger PR that removes all the old ifdefed code, that will become useless,
once QGIS refuses to be compiled on Qt <4.7 anyway. Or when something else is
added that requires Qt 4.7 (and which needs some effort to to maintain for Qt
<4.7).
