Either removing the major or adding the minor is a call for problems for us. Many of us still carry Qt4 [0], so removing the major might be problematic. On the other hand adding the minor will surely mean we will need to patch code in order to make it work. If I remember correctly there is a way to check the minimum version of Qt the project needs. Considering Qt's API/ABI stability for public headers, a minimum version check is more than enough and will provide less friction between developers and packagers.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man -- for precisely the same reasons.
