Just to be carefull: what's an easy 'automation' is for a dev is a big hurdle for some plugin authors... And we have a lot authors already... But authors have to update their plugins anyway isn't it? So how countless is countless? And we knew that we would break stuff anyway.... >> > * Bump the minimum Qt version to 5.7 (and hope that PyQtNullVariant >> > will be fixed there, chances are good, see >> > https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2016-April/037336.html). >> > >> > I tend towards Qt >= 5.7 - on Windows and Mac we control the >> > dependencies, so that should be ok anyway, on Linux we can say "if you >> > want a recent QGIS, get a recent distro".

I'm in favour with 'looking into the future', but let us now walk too much in front of the distro's. Packaging Qt will be the next step, and I understand from Debian packagers it is a lot of work to do.... But how 'new' is 5.7? Debian Jessie: 5.3.2 Debian Stretch: 5.5.1 Experimental has 5.6... (we still need the building structure working) Ubuntu? Fedora? Others?
