That should not be necessary anymore. The dependencies should be fine for a while now. Some of them were behind and complaints about that were increasing. Some with regard to security, although some if not all just based on plain scan results and not on actual assessments of the real severity of vulnerabilities - which should have been low in the context of QGIS Desktop. Still they were valid. We were still using OpenSSL 1 (no complaints about that though), which both Qt5 and Python were build against. So both were blocking the update to OpenSSL 3. And Qt6 needed to be introduced, preferably not built against the old OpenSSL - although that would probably still have been a possibility. So Python and Qt5 had to be rebuilt along with there reverse dependencies, which almost is everything else there is. So that was a good time to also update. > To what extent is this linked to https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/54491? To some. > Also, how are these massive OSGeo4W updates discussed and decided?

There's is a bug tracker https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo4w and a mailing list https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/osgeo4w-dev/ Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
