Comment (by mojca@…):

 Two points:
 * Breaking the Qt might be unavoidable, but I would prefer if that would
 be done '''just once''' rather than committing some minimal subset now and
 then doing another incompatible commit (requiring a revbump of all
 dependents) with all the desired fixes again one month from now.
 * If we would have to support two or more flavours of Qt (for example
 qt5-mac and qt5-kde) and two variants of all the dependent ports just
 because qt{4|5}-mac is not configured properly to support KDE
 applications, that is a very stupid reason to ship two incompatible ports
 and a great recipe to introduce more confusion. Please let's make sure
 that qt{4|5} works for everyone (including KDE), so that there won't be
 any need for "workaround ports".
