--- Comment #4 from RJVB <rjvber...@gmail.com> ---
I agree that the code doesn't appear to be designed to swap backends easily
(like the rendering backend in KDevelop's documentation feature, for instance).
It looks like the transition could have been prepared by first introducing some
sort of backend interface class (apparently you had "years" to do that) but you
probably realised that yourselves by now.

I don't get what's dead about QtScript that would oblige you to switch. It's
still in recent Qt versions, and it's not like you're using it for rocket
science or security related things here. I guess I'll see what happens when I
upgrade to 5.40.0 or so, but 5.38.0 still works perfectly fine with QtScript (=
that need to switch isn't so urgent at all).

Anyway, I guess I'll end up spoofing an newer version number on patched old KTE
code at some point, crossing my fingers that none of the applications I rely on
start requiring 5.38+ during my lifetime (or until I get to upgrade all my
systems to Qt 5.9+).
