For me, that's precisely the point. It's not about the user neither
packagers, it's about development.

For me, they are not good options and I will end up only working in
one version. With a big enough team that wouldn't be a problem. But
with a small team like the one we have I think the Qt4 version will
become "abandon-aware". LXQt 0.7 was the first "stable" release, if
the 0.8 turns LXQt Qt4 in "abandon-aware" we might not get user trust.
Qt5 is great and we should focus the active development in it. But
there is a share of "weak machines" that can't afford LXQt Qt5.
