Should 'import pyface.api' set the toolkit to 'qt' rather than 'qt4'?

Currently, import pyface.api
in an environment containing PySide or PyQt sets the ETS toolkit to "qt4"
. This causes issues if an application later tries to set the toolkit to "qt"
. Would it make more sense for the Pyface import to be setting a toolkit of "qt"
instead?
