It's obviously a bad decision made by people who don't understand what
they're dealing with. It reminds me of this presentation from one of the
ownCloud/nextCloud founders explaining how venture capitalists destroyed
ownCloud, particularly around 8 minutes 30 seconds:

https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libreplanet/m/why-i-forked-my-own-project-and-my-own-company-31c3/

The Qt Company has set up a conflict between the community interest and
the company's interest and created an unstable situation. Hopefully the
Qt company doesn't make any more hostile changes like this or it may
very well go the way of ownCloud. It is clear at this point that talking
to them is pointless. That has been done already. The people making the
decisions have demonstrated that they do not care. The only thing that
might change their mind is making this silly decision irrelevant by
maintaining a community LTS fork.

    So basically for open source users the support of Qt 5.15 has
    stopped 9 months before a usable version should be available.


Totally agree, but that point has already been made in the dev mailing
list.
So we can assume that Tuuka is fully aware of that problem. In that
context his "it's business as usual" response could be translated to
"la-la-la can't hear you".

    Dropping the LTS for open source users would not have been an
    issue this big if you had done it for any other version.
    But doing it for 5.15, the last Qt 5 version is the worst timing.
    If anything Qt 5.15 should have had an extended support time


It's the worst timing unless the purpose is to push (drag ?) users to
the commercial license - in that case the timing is perfect.
It's a business decision, time will tell if it's a good one or not.

Ilya.
