We already have no CI and CD for Qt 5 on Android anymore for similar reasons, and as the one responsible for retiring that I certainly sympathize with this. In case of Android this was a much easier decision though, as we had no CD users anymore at that point. To get an idea of the impact there's a full list of all remaining Qt5 CI and CD jobs on master branches attached. The script used to produce this is in https://invent.kde.org/vkrause/kde-ci-status/. This does only cover the use of standard templates. There's 119 repositories with Qt5 CI jobs. Some of those things are likely dead, some should probably be ported, others have to support Qt5 still, like the Breeze style. There's 8 repositories with Qt5 CD jobs: - education/kstars - graphics/glaxnimate - graphics/peruse - network/kaidan - office/crow-translate - office/kmymoney - office/tellico - sdk/umbrello Probably worth reviewing in more detail where those are on the way to Qt6 and what can be done to support/accelerate the transition.
