I do not like the idea of being held back from upgrading minimal requirements by one distribution. I think it is fairly reasonable to expect that only older software will work with older distributions. Moreover, I guess the share of CentOS/Redhat users is quite low even just among linux users because it is mainly server oriented. And even then those users should not have trouble installing newer Qt from third-party packages. Finally, newer versions of Qt are also more stable - with a release of new minor Qt version the older branch typically stops receiving further bugfixes.
