However, there is a reason to keep both: vtk6 is qt5 based only. This
leaves applications which are still on qt4 in the dark. One such
application is the simulation tool. Elmer is unstable only right now.
But this is due to long standing license issues. These have finally been
resolved. It would be unfortunate if elmer would not make it to straetch
because of a missing vtk package.
