Two questions from a packaging viewpoint (I help maintain the qgis entry in pkgsrc): I am guessing that this "dropping 32-bit on Windows" is mostly if not entirely about project-built binaries, and does not mean that the source code will stop compiling on various CPU architectures. I would expect a continued notion that qgis source code should not make assumptions about CPU architecture. I don't quite follow "update our dependencies to Qt 5.15". This seems to be tied to Windows packaging in the announcement, but I think it's about declaring a requirement of 5.15 for building the source code, and then modifying the source code to use 5.15 interfaces and not use any deprecated interfaces, so that the code will be buildable also with Qt 6, which promises to supporting building any code which builds against 5.15 without deprecation warnings. Is that right?
