No, 7.1 includes an RPM named "qt-experimental".
May I ask why this was set aside as experimental? Is it unstable enough that it shouldn't be used on workstations? Since AA is listed on the outside of the box, why isn't it set up by default? I think it's misleading to have "Anti-Aliasing support" printed on the box when you have to do funny tweaks to get it working. Geek that I am I don't mind it personally, but people who don't know as much will probably be upset that it's not the default.
Well, the AA support has just been added recently and was not an official part of the Qt library at the time of the package freeze. Therefore we decided to add it as a separate RPM for the time being. Not having it as the default has another reason - you need TrueType fonts, which we cannot provide, since most _good_ fonts are not available for free and not everybody has a separate Windows partition, where we might be able to "reuse" fonts.
