I think in the intervening 4.5 years we've done a good job of removing
the bundled libraries from qt-4 and qt-5 and then qtbase. I'm going to
consider this bug a success. The note in the snippet says there are a
few more bundled libraries, like md5 and sha3 (and harfbuzz) but we've
otherwise done a great job on this one.

The bundled libraries in Qt are an obvious security issues, among other
concerns.  This bug is to keep track of progress removing those bundled
libraries (esp. in Qt 5.)
