Basically, Qt is making the same mistake with 6.0 that KDE made with 4.0:
releasing a .0 that even the developers do not recommend actually depending on,
just for the sake of releasing something.

The funny thing, I remember at a Qt Dev Days when Qt 5 was about a year away.
The "we will never do a Qt 3-4 type major version change again" was said time
and time again.
Where functionality was missing, and no one was happy with Qt 4.0 except the
people who got to say "4.0" released
