That's exactly the right approach here: leave both options, let the user
choose.  I'm still defaulting my ports to Qt4 (at least trying to), and
sometimes even provide -qt4 as a separate port.  I'm perfectly happy with
Qt4, less happy with Qt5, and see no need to use Qt5.  But I'm just as
happy with Qt5 being default *as long as* I can tell the port that I want
Qt4 instead.

Removing working option just because it's not useful for you Yuri is not
your best act here, esp. after you've been explicitly asked for it.
