Alexey, we are not going to remove Qt5 any time soon exactly for this reason:
some popular software is not ported to Qt6 yet. However, in the long run Qt5
will be deorbited to join our beloved Qt4, Qt3, etc.

And with kde@ hat I'd like to remind that Qt5 is not maintained upstream.
Consider switching your ports to Qt6 and remove Qt5 flavor if it is not
used by other ports.

Cheers,
Max
