You are right, that's why in general for Plasma projects the master branch is Qt6 only. But for some special projects we need to have Qt 5 AND Qt 6 builds in a Plasma 6 session to support Qt5 apps on Plasma 6 - for example Breeze or plasma- integration (our QPlatformTheme). Freezing Qt5 at a stable version doesn't work quite here as development happening on master will lead to UX and visual divergence compared to the frozen branch. > Cheers, > Ben David
