I tend towards Qt >= 5.7 - on Windows and Mac we control the

want a recent QGIS, get a recent distro". And by the time we actually
ship QGIS with a Qt5 dependency there should be a number of distros
with
Qt 5.7.
This rules out backports for Debian stable, so I'm not in favour of this
option.
The next Debian stable release may support Qt 5.7, but packaging is not
on the horizon yet. Qt 5.5.1 is currently in testing/unstable (and
Ubuntu xenial) with 5.6 in experimental.
I'd like to keep maintaining backports for the most recent LTR because
that's in the interest of our users, if dependency requirements make
that impossible it's unfortunate but not the end of the world.
Kind Regards,
