So, removing Qt5 will break computers of many users, including my computer.
In the course of many years of existence of Qt5 a large number of useful
programs have been created; not all of them have been ported to Qt6. Are we
going to throw away all this wealth?
Is there a timeline for killing QT5 completely or will just QT5 be stuck at the
current version and patch level?
That's what I thought first, too. And I think that is the question which
has to be answered before making a decision. As long as someone, who
could be referred to as upstream, patches QT5, I would personally be
fine with using QT5. But once that support drops, we are talking about
an unsupported biiiiig piece of software which you don't want to have on
your computer.
I searched the web and found a blog entry [1] talking about extended
commercial(!) support ending mid 2025. But I don't know QT enough to
qualify this information.
