Subject: Fwd: [gentoo-dev] Please actively drop support for Qt5 wherever possible

Allow me to re-emphasize this topic 4 months later:
- Most of KDE projects have ported away to Qt6.
- No other DE/WM based on Qt5 is left in ::gentoo to benefit from the option.
- Therefore I do not plan to put any more time into Qt5 packaging, much less
backporting LTS fixes to KDE Qt repositories.
- GCC, ICU, Python, ... may at any future release break Qt5, QtWebEngine in
particular.
This is the work list:
https://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/dev-qt/qtcore
If you recognise your package(s) in there, please drop Qt5 in favor of Qt6
aggressively. If there is no Qt6-based upstream release yet, bug upstream
about it. They may not even know yet this is important.
Happy New Year,
Andreas
