My vote is for dropping Qt4 and supporting Qt5 only. with some exceptions: 1. qtxdg (this can still be very useful for most qt4 programs) 2. pcmanfm-qt (well, I'm willing to maintain that.) KDE 5 already moved to Qt5, so all new distros shipping KDE should have Qt5. Previously I suggest keep Qt4 because Qt5 is very buggy. However, we already found workarounds for all of the critical bugs. So now everything works as usual in Qt 5. Moreover, Qt developers are working on fixing the bugs I've reported. One of the most critical bug will be fixed before Qt 5.4. So basically LXQt can run on Qt5 without significant problems. Maintaining two code paths is time-consuming as this doubles the time of testing. I'd say Qt5 only. Others? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Slashdot TV.
