A very astute observation. Actually, it's a fork of Qt by a girl and a guy but the rest of your statement is spot on.

There is no way we could merge back upstream, but that is not because we forked from 4.8. It is because statements made by several key individuals in the Qt project indicate that our changes would not be welcome and they see no reason to remove moc.
