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".
