Being a newb here, I could be way off base, but one of the selling points I 
keep reading for using PyQt and PyKDE are for rapid prototyping apps that 
later get converted to C++.  Would getting rid of QStrings not impose a 
greater conversion burden on these people and thus alienate them?

And what would the downstream effect on PyKDE be?
