There's no sudden love. Just surprise that all of a sudden, shortly
before the release, the established solution for co-installability must
be changed.
It is certainly possible to add a further configure option a la
-qt-executable-suffix -qt6
to move the burden from the packagers to Qt's build system and ensure
consistent Qt installation layouts across distributions.
However, simply changing the executable names won't cut it.
I expect breakages, esp. in the qmake support. Therefore, this won't
happen for 6.0.0.
Please come up with a proposal that fits the packagers needs for the
different distros, and we'll see how we can incorporate that into the
build system.
Cheers,
Joerg
