> The answer to having qt4 is legacy reasons. Removing it would break many
ports that rely on it. At some point those should be updated to qt5 where
possible.
There are some ports having both qt4 ant qt5 variants: cmake, doxygen,
faustlive-devel, gate, gecode, lpe, LyX...
> For new ports, it is best to support the latest framework only (qt, wx,
python, etc).
Is it an official recommendation? I don't see it in docs. And I believe
that we must provide all possible build options when it is not too hard to
support them. I already gave an example where a qt4 variant may be useful.
