Comment (by MarcusCalhoun-Lopez):

 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign]:
 > If the intention is to have ports for qscintilla 2 with qt 4 and ports
 for qscintilla 2 for qt 5, that's fine, but the port names should be fixed
 to convey that, they should probably be made more similar, and probably
 both be maintained by the same maintainer(s).
 Renaming should not be too difficult as neither port has a large number of
 dependents.
 * For maximum clarity, we could use
  * qscintilla-qt4
  * qscintilla-qt5
 * For minimum disruption, we could use
  * qscintilla
  * qscintilla-qt5
 Does anyone have strong feelings one way or another?

 Making them more similar is a good idea.[[BR]]
 It might prove a little difficult in practice.[[BR]]
 Qt4 and Qt5 each seem to have their own particular quirks.
