As I just wrote in the other thread I prefer Qt 5.6.
I can nevertheless release RC1 with Qt5.5.1/MSVC2010 and also a Qt 5.6
version. However, for the final release I won't maintain/offer support
for a Qt 5.5.1 build. Due to lack of time I will have to focus on one
version and Qt 5.6 offers a long term support, meaning I can assume that
this version will be supported by the Qt people for the full life time
of LyX 2.2.
Long term support is about what happens for the coming years.
Separate builds is more about understanding quickly what bugs come from
the compiler or Qt. I do not anticipate this being needed after 2.2.1.
This is your choice anyway. But then you'll have to cope with the
windows specific bugs that we may have, with fewer hints about what goes
wrong.
What is nice with Linux is that we do have naturally this diversity
(Qt4/Qt5, gcc/clang).
On the bright side, chromium has been ported to VC++2015 and several
compiler bugs have been fixed in the process:
