Except that the next release after Qt 5.15 won't be 5.16 but Qt 6. How does the transition story for open source projects look there? If the (security) support for Qt 5.15 is dropped as soon as Qt 6 is released, does that mean projects would have to migrate immediately? What if they are using third-party libraries which need to be migrated first? I'm aware that Qt 5 -> Qt 6 is supposed to be a manageable change (and smaller than 3 -> 4 or 4 -> 5). But still, expecting projects to essentially have migrated before Qt 6 is released isn't exactly realistic... Am I missing something there?
