Now I want to ask a (maybe stupid) question:
Why there need to be bindings for both GTK and QT?
They are not native platform UI libraries. They are multi-platform libraries. 
If you bind to one of them, you already have support for many platforms.
Sounds like dividing developer efforts to me, too. Duplicated effort.
Choices are good but if it is already blocking a release of Lazarus it doesn't 
make sense.
