> How is the sponsorship coming? It's been almost a year since the last activity
on this topic.

I am now being sponsored as fedora package maintainer (for some time in fact);
my FAS2/fedora account name is dreamertan. (I am removing NEEDSPONSORS tag).

> It appears that OpenSUSE does indeed split Opera's GTK/Qt support into the
subpackages.

Which is totally unnecessary and it's only making life harder for users. There
is a reason, that Opera developers (Opera Software) do not split official rpm
into several subpackages, we should stick as close to upstream as possible.

Another reason, why this shouldn't be split is future compatibility; Opera now
supports 3 toolkits this way: gtk2, gtk3 and qt4. When new support for new
toolkits/environments will appear in future (e.g. qt5 or unity), users that
have opera-kde will be left behind with suboptimally functioning browser.

I will update specfile in next few days to 12.00 final (there were some
important packaging changes between 11.5x and 12.00).
