 > There are some ports having both qt4 ant qt5 variants: cmake, doxygen,
 faustlive-devel, gate, gecode, lpe, LyX...

 Again, legacy reasons. Most of them started out with qt4 or even qt3.

 > 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.

 Recommendation: yes, requirement: no. The docs could be updated. And who
 would support them in this case? This proposed port is {{{nomaintainer}}}.
 More options requires more support. We are definitely short-staffed on
 this all-volunteer project.

 Are you saying a dependency of ttfautohint has a qt4 variant? I looked at
 the ones in Portfile but they don't directly have it. Yes, that would be a
 good reason.
