Maybe Qt 5.6.
I’m wondering, do we want to keep the “none” behavior to “runtime” for OS X? libdbus-1 (and pkg-config) may be installed for two reasons: 1) As a dependency for Qt. 2) As a dependency for something else (some other homebrew package, or an unrelated dev project). I think 2) is more common, and that a default Qt build should use stock OS X only.
