Re: git: 40c3f010f305 - main - www/qt5-webengine: Schedule for removal before 2026Q4

Folks, you ports depend on Qt5WebEngine, which is planned for removal in three months. Please, update your ports to Qt 6, or remove Qt 5 flavor if your port supports both Qt 5 and 6. If upstream still considers Qt 6 support as experimental, consider at least removing dependency on Qt5WebEngine.
