We prefer to work with downstreams and have those changes in Qt itself. Not
because we don't trust Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE maintainers to do the right
thing, but precisely because it's multiple teams. Why should each team
redevelop the solution?
And don't forget tiny distros and self-built distros (Yocto comes to mind!)
whose teams are not aware of those changes.
Note that we can do ABI versioning if we wanted to:
libQt5Core.so.5

The ELF symbol version would need to be adapted too. Right now, it marks
everything as "Qt_5".
