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.)

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

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.
